With
uncertainty in Europe spooking investors away from any asset perceived as
risky, many Americans have become wary of overseas equities. While the fear
is understandable, it may be keeping us away from some of the world's most
promising economies. I believe economic fundamentals are still the ultimate
driver of investment performance, but it's easy to come to the opposite
conclusion given the extreme global asset correlation we are now seeing. And
economic fundamentals vary greatly in different corners of the world.
Exactly how
overseas companies can manage both the turbulent economic waters and the
increasing anxieties of investors will be among the likely themes at Euro
Pacific Capital's Global Investment Conference, which will occur on
Thursday May 31 at New York's Sofitel Hotel. The event will be bring together
more than 90 executives from 56 leading international transportation, energy
and mining companies who will make their cases directly to retail and
institutional investors. In my early morning keynote to all conference
attendees I will attempt to remind the attending executives that the
macroeconomic tides are in their favor. Over the last generation, the vast
majority of the world's economic growth has occurred beyond America's
borders. I believe the emerging markets will continue to emerge and those who
operate successfully there will have a leg up on the competitions.
The event is
open to the public, for more information go to EPC
Global Investment Conference 2012. Presenting companies include such
notables as Petrobras (PBR) --South America's
largest energy company, Deutsche Post (DPW), Agnico
Eagle Mines (AEM), Aurizon Mines* (AZK), Harry
Winston Diamond (HWD), Canadian Oil Sands (COS), and A.P. Moller Maersk - Damco [MAERSKB] --the world's largest container shipping
company. They will be joined by a number of small-cap companies who may be
unfamiliar to American investors, but whose stories may provide key insight
to economies unfolding half a world away. Presentations will last 30 minutes.
In addition, the event will feature panel discussions on the future of
non-traditional energy and how the 2012 JOBS act will alter the regulatory
landscape for public companies that seek listing on U.S. exchanges.
Admission to
the 7:30am to 5:30pm event in midtown Manhattan includes two buffet meals, a
two hour post event cocktail party, and a gift bag that includes my brand new
book The Real Crash: America's Coming Bankruptcy and How to Save Yourself and
Your Country. Admission is free for employees from qualified institutional
investment firms.
