This month Francis discusses the stage of the economic cycle in which we find ourselves, as well as the outlook for commodities in the near term and as part of a multi-decade super-cycle with Scott Smith, the CIO of Viewpoint Investment Partners in Calgary. Francis and Scott will discuss how the risk profile of a traditional 60/40 portfolio is changing, and how commodities can provide a ballast to portfolios when correlations between equities and bonds turn positive. A key discussion point at our Family Office Summit in April, this webinar will both complement and distill the great amount of information available at this time about commodities.
