1. Is GOLD an interesting asset class today? What’s its role in a client portfolio?

I think gold is becoming increasingly interesting. In the last year or two, a lot of people would have expected it to perform slightly better with trade wars, political tensions, Brexits and other issues. But I think it's taken its direction from the US dollar, the strengthening U.S. dollar and expectation of rates rising. In terms of an investment asset, I think it's wrong to look at gold as purely, is it going to go up or is it going to go down. One of the things with gold is its diversifying effects and the fact that it's non-correlated with majority of other assets so with elevated asset valuations, other concerns and uncertainty, I think that people should look to put a portion of their portfolio into gold in order to protect against market stresses.
