In the February 2017 issue of Gold Investor, Cambridge Associates’ Chief Investment Strategist Celia Dallas outlines optimal investment strategies in a world beset by uncertainty, focused on improved efficiency, enhanced returns and downside protection. She says, “Investors that index to US equities or a simple stock/bond portfolio run the risk of missing the bend in the road by focusing their gaze on the rearview mirror.”

Dallas addresses the following questions in detail in this Q&A:

1. What are the biggest risks investors face in 2017?
2. What are the biggest opportunities?
3. What are the key attributes that gold brings to a portfolio?
4. What are the biggest hurdles that asset owners face when introducing a new investment/asset class to their portfolios and how do they usually overcome them?
