Q & A With Investment Specialists, HULT Private Capital

John Hudson is Senior Investment Manager at HULT Private Capital. Offering international investment services with a boutique approach, the company’s origins stem from piloting the 2008 financial crash.

Office and residential skyscrapers against bright sun and clear blue sky. Commercial real estate. Glass and metal in urban architecture. High-tech facade design. Modern business city district. Office buildings exterior. Financial city district. Reflections and highlights in glass. Wide angle city photography.

HULT’s knowledge of the global markets is nearly as impressive as their ability to navigate them in uncertain times. We learn more about them in our question and answer series.

What are your thoughts on the current state of the economy and how is HULT Private Capital approaching it as a business?
“I haven’t met anyone who isn’t discussing this at the moment, and that in itself speaks volumes. We are living through largely unprecedented times, and the few clients who recall surviving the aftermath of similar historic events are equally perturbed. It is our job to ensure that of all the things to worry about, our clients’ future wealth is not one of them.”

In light of that, has HULT seen investor activity slowing?
“When the news of Russia broke, we braced ourselves. In times of economic and political turmoil, you tend to see two types of reaction from investors: those who panic and seek to liquidate their holdings; and those who want to take advantage and make bolder moves to capitalise. Credit to our investors as those who have not chosen to sit tight, have pursued larger investments.”

Where are you seeing your investors focussing their strategies?
“Our Central London Property Fund has undoubtedly taken pole position as our current investor favourite. I think this is largely because even in the current economy, bricks and mortar are seen as a safe haven, and the UK’s rising property market reinforces this. Savills reported that 2021 saw the sale of ‘super prime’ properties reach highs unseen since 2014. When you look at the strength of the London market, I would predict that even with the withdrawal of Russian ownership, it will be largely unaffected. Quite simply, there is no where like London and at HULT, our investors have been seeing the value of this for some years now.”

For anyone who doesn’t currently have the support of a company like HULT Private Capital, what are the benefits of working with an investment manager?

“In times like this, having level-headed guidance is invaluable. HULT Private Capital was founded from economic adversity, so we are seasoned navigators of tumultuous times. Our team do not shy away from communicating in times that appear challenging, largely because our investments are structured to hedge against typical market influences. Whilst we never make decisions for our clients, we are on hand around the clock to guide them in ensuring their financial goals are not at the expense of the comfort of their risk appetite.”

If you are interested in the services of an investment manager, you can contact HULT Private Capital on +44 20 8123 5164, or the Dubai office on +97145664052.

HULT Private Capital and Partners provide an exclusive approach to investing, assuring your capital is robustly grown and secure within structured investment facilities.

U.S. TRADE AND INVESTMENT IN AFRICA PERFECT STRATEGIC PARTNERS ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURING OUTLOOK MAGAZINEQ

Manufacturing journalist TR Cutler recently reported why the U.S. and Africa are ideal strategic partners in the February issue of Manufacturing Outlook magazine. Cutler sees the powerful Senate Foreign Relations committee testimony by Landry Signé six months ago as evidence to the growing, dynamic, and new relationship with Africa and the U.S. Read more here.

According to Cutler, manufacturers are desperate for labor in the U.S.; African nations have a strong workforce willing to work at a fraction of the America wage structure. While Africa nations vary as much as U.S. states, the pros and cons of this global relationship represents a unique window into the narrative of the American footprint over the next several decades. China has already claimed the title of infrastructure leader for the African continent. It is not too late to improve the relationship. Just as the U.S. was instrumental in advancing health initiatives for HIV in Africa forty years ago, we are doing so now with COVID vaccines. That goodwill buys U.S. industry a gratitude among African nations.

Africa represents tremendous trade and investment potential, along with expanding continental integration and global partnerships.

Landry Signé, Ph.D.is the Executive Director & Professor at Thunderbird School of Global Management as well as a Senior Fellow, Global Economy and Development Program, Africa Growth Initiative, Brookings Institution Member, Regional Action Group on Africa & Global Future Council on Agile Governance, World Economic Forum.

Jacket Media is the parent company of Manufacturing Outlook magazine. The publication highlights current manufacturing trends.

Skyrocketing Gold Bullion Coin Demand, Soaring Rare Coin Values in 2021, Reports Universal Coin & Bullion President Michael Fuljenz

There was significantly increased interest in gold as well as silver bullion coins and rare coins in 2021.

Although the price of gold fluctuated during 2021, the public’s demand for gold bullion coins such as the popular American Eagle series soared during the past year, according to Michael Fuljenz, president of Universal Coin & Bullion (http://www.UniversalCoin.com) in Beaumont, Texas. Known as America’s Gold Expert®, Fuljenz is the 2021 American Numismatic Association Dealer of the Year.

“For the first 11 months of the year, the United States Mint sold over 1.2 million ounces of Gold American Eagles, up 51 percent from the 794,500 ounces sold in the same period in 2020. This is on track for the best year since 1999. We’ve had significantly increased interest in gold as well as silver bullion coins from current, former, and many new customers,” explained Fuljenz.

“With rising federal spending and deficits, plus rising inflation and global uncertainty, I predict that gold prices will return to over $2,000 in the year 2022, and silver could go to $27 per ounce. The market for high-quality U.S. rare coins was extraordinary during 2021 and it can rise even more,” he added.

“The recent volatility in the Dow and Russell 2000 indexes are a reminder that gold is the only proven stable form of money for over 3,000 years,” he stated.

Fuljenz, who has taught counterfeit detection classes for the American Numismatic Association, warns potential buyers of bullion and rare coins to be wary of the many fraudulent advertisements appearing on social media sites.

“Some of these platforms repeatedly accept ads for counterfeit coins which are typically made in China. If you see an ad offering gold or silver bullion items at below their actual precious metal content’s value, ask yourself why would someone offer you an item for far less than they could receive selling it to a reputable dealer? Be cautious,” emphasized Fuljenz who received an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from McNeese State University in 2015.

Universal Coin & Bullion President Michael Fuljenz has won dozens of prestigious national and regional awards and honors for his consumer education and protection work in rare coins and precious metals. A respected community leader in his hometown of Beaumont, Texas, Mike also has served with distinction as a consultant to the Federal Trade Commission, Attorney General of Texas, United States Mint, and Royal Canadian Mint. He is on the Boards of Directors of the influential National Coin & Bullion Association, Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas, and is a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild’s Accredited Precious Metals Dealer program.
