On this episode of the FEG Insight Bridge Podcast , CIO Greg Dowling welcomes Max Belmont , Portfolio Manager and Senior Research Analyst at First Eagle Investments. Max discusses the growing interest in gold amid global economic uncertainties, exploring its role as a potential hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. The discussion also covers the dynamics of gold mining investments, the impact of central bank policies, and the comparison between gold and digital assets like Bitcoin. Tune in for key insights on the enduring allure of gold and exploration of its strategic importance in today's investment landscape. Key Takeaways Gold is prized as a potential safe haven due to its stability and limited supply. Unlike other commodities, gold does not corrode or degrade, maintaining its value over long periods. This makes it a potential hedge against economic instability and currency devaluation. The historical context of gold, including its role during periods of hyperinflation and economic turmoil, has influenced its perception as a stable investment. Central banks have shifted from being net sellers to net buyers of gold, especially after the 2008 financial crisis and recent geopolitical tensions, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. While both gold and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are seen as alternatives to traditional financial assets, they behave differently. Gold is a "risk-off" asset, providing stability during market downturns, whereas Bitcoin is more volatile and behaves like a "risk-on" asset, similar to growth stocks. First Eagle's approach to investing in gold includes holding physical gold and investing in gold mining companies. The investment strategy focuses on valuation, resilience, duration, and optionality to ensure a margin of safety and long-term value.

Tune in for key insights on Japan’s economic transformation and investment potential. Key Takeaways: Japan is experiencing renewed interest from investors after decades of stagnation. This resurgence is driven by corporate reforms, a strong manufacturing base, and Japan’s strategic positioning as an alternative to China. Japan offers significant opportunities in high-tech industries such as semiconductors and robotics.

The potential takeover of Seven & I Holdings by Couche Tard highlights Japan’s evolving openness to foreign investment and corporate control. The yen carry trade unwind caused significant market volatility. Additionally, Japan’s high public debt levels are sustainable due to low interest rates and the majority of debt being held by the central bank. However, the terms of trade and reliance on energy imports pose ongoing risks.

Join FEG CIO Greg Dowling and Mike Scott , Managing Partner and Founder of Pelican Energy Partners, as they explore the world of nuclear power and its impact on energy dynamics. Mike's transition from leading energy service sector buyouts to focusing on nuclear energy offers valuable insights into this often misunderstood domain. This episode debunks myths, uncovers trends, and delves into the lucrative opportunities and potential risks associated with nuclear power, from its role in carbon-free energy to technological advancements. Discover why nuclear energy may deserve a closer look from investors, from Eastern Europe's mission for energy independence to longer-term impacts from Fukushima and changes in U.S. policy. Lastly, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how nuclear energy is shaping the future of global energy markets; and explore its potential in investment portfolios. Key Takeaways Nuclear power is experiencing a resurgence driven by the need for carbon-free base load power, with 93 plants in the U.S. generating 20% of the country's electricity and 50% of its carbon-free energy. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) places nuclear power on the same footing as wind and solar, enabling it to benefit from production tax credits and investment tax credits. This has supercharged the nuclear industry, driving upgrades and relicensing of existing plants, leading to increased activity and investment. Small modular reactors (SMRs) offer safer, more efficient nuclear power with higher output for the same input. Despite regulatory challenges, there is significant demand for SMRs from both utilities and industrial sectors due to their decarbonization potential and thermal efficiency benefits.
