New research with institutional investors and wealth managers reveals the growing demand for metal investment funds with a strong ESG focus, ensuring the metals are sustainably and ethically sourced, according to a study from Global Palladium Fund (GPF), which has recently listed four physically backed metal Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) with the lowest charges in Europe.
Alexander Stoyanov, CEO of GPF, said, “Our research shows just how important precious metals are to making the green economy a reality. Their properties mean that they have a fundamental role to play in technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells and other green technologies crucial to changing the world we live in and, as a result, the demand for metals such as palladium and platinum will increase.”
The study shows two-thirds of investors (67 percent) predict industrial activity will increase this year. This will drive the price of metals such as silver, palladium and platinum higher, according
