A new research study that looked into 50 UK pension schemes with a combined $76bn (€62.2bn) in assets under management has shown that the asset owners are looking to increase their allocation to precious and industrial metals.
The study – conducted by NTree International Ltd, a specialist marketing and distribution, and investor education firm – revealed that 78% of surveyed schemes believe that markets have entered a commodity super cycle, a decades-long period during which commodities are predicted to trade above their long-term price trend.
As a result, many asset owners expect to go overweight in commodities such as precious and industrial metals over the next 12 months, it said.
