Five of the Best: Gold miners set to surprise in 201207 Oct 2011 | 08:39 Categories: Commodities Topics: Gold
Angelos Damaskos, manager of the £40m Junior Gold fund and CEO of Sector Investment Managers, picks five gold miners best placed to benefit from the upswing in commodity prices.
Damaskos said the upward trend in the gold price is set to continue as the complex crisis facing developed economies persists.
"Very difficult market conditions and further cuts in government spending will have a dramatic devalue effect on the strongest Western currencies, causing investors to seek another source of value."
"This has an exaggerated effect on the gold price, and we expect, on an inflation adjusted basis, $2,500 per ounce is the right price to look for in 2012."
He conceded gold mining shares are back to August lows after a brief rebound, despite their advantages such as the ability to use operational gearing, and having future cash generation among the highest in the equity space, he said.
"However, when recovery picks up, the markets could be extremely daunting and investors should be already positioned rather than shy away or panic-trade.
"Being in gold miners now just means be prepared for a potential strong re-rating across equities," he said.
Damaskos added indicators show investment is shifting more and more into gold-related assets, and gold mining stocks are not decoupled from the physical asset. He expects physical gold and gold equities to align in the long term.
The manager has tripled exposure to one of the few non-producing companies he holds, as part of the 20% of the portfolio he uses to bet on future operations.
He increased his weighting in British-Canadian company, European Goldfield, from 1.7% to 5% after it%2 |
