Mr. Gordon “Grant” Curtis is no stranger to the market place and its ever-changing dynamics. As director of investments for a sub billion euro family office in Europe, with consistent double-digit returns, Grant offers insights that are unique and different, yet have proved lucrative.
“Sharing ideas and facilitating dialog in a panel format is an ideal platform for the birth of new ideas, insights and points of view. Every time I participate on a panel, make a speech or moderate a forum, I learn as well as disseminate information and ideas. I find myself giving challenge to my own thoughts and further solidify actionable strategies to already defined investment plans. This is what one of the keys to running a successful and cutting edge money fund,” stated Grant.
The future is what the future is and requires the confidence of investors for an organized financial system to be possible. This means that the health of the market place defining the value of currency is ever so important to an organized civilization worldwide. No one is insulated from such basic premises unless they live in a tent and have their own means of sustaining their needs.
What the market place lacks now is a combination of confidence and therefore velocity of currency. The most basic foundation of currency-based wealth is to understand that money needs to be made from exchanging money for other things, not just money for money. Without sound belief in less liquid assets, there is not enough currency in the world for the majority of investors to move to the sidelines and be liquid.
Government economists are ill-suited to grasp what the enterprise needs are of industry and industry ultimately looks to the Government to bail them out when they make a big mistake. The result of this is further lack of investor confidence followed by an adopted wait and see attitude.
The good news according to Gordon Grant Curtis is that there is hope, there are profitable methods in which to make returns in the market place, and that the current economic system is worth believing in. As part of this, a responsible and ‘greater good’ outlook to investments can be integrated. Deciphering if a 130/30 strategy is applicable for the money that endowments and pension managers are entrusted with to deploy will be the topic of discussion for this panel at the Boston Conference, Monday October 20, 2008, Hyatt Regency.
