THE
CASE
FOR
Commodities

FOR INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS ONLY 3


Why NATURAL
RESOURCES
Improving Fundamentals
Our models suggest that supply/demand fundamentals have improved while most
investors remain historically underweight to the industry. Improving data will likely lead
to a renewed interest in the sector with resulting inflows.

Valuation
Natural Resource markets have been in a five-year bear market and today we believe
offer very attractive valuations. Historically, the strongest natural resource investment
returns occur after long periods of market under-performance ever recorded.1

Low Correlation
Natural Resources tend to exhibit a low correlation with the broad market. The S&P
Natural Resource Stock Index has a 0.59 correlation of monthly total returns with the S&P
500 Index since 1996.1

ANALYSIS
We begin with a top-down analysis of various
commodity sectors. We utilize publicly available
data when available, combined with proprietary
databases to create an in-depth supply and
Bottom-up
demand model. SECURITY
We model the cost to bring on new supply, the ANALYSIS
unit economics of existing production, and
trends in the underlying current production base
in an attempt to understand supply dynamics.

On the demand side, we attempt to model the


relationship between regional considerations, PORTFOLIO
macro factors, and consumer trends in an

Our universe is primarily global equities. We

be weighted as much as 60%.

At the security level, our portfolio is typically
comprised of 50 – 70 of our “best ideas”

Top-down
COMMODITY
ANALYSIS
When a commodity market turns favorable, it
is often the poorest quality, most marginal and
highly-levered companies that outperform.
These investments also tend to carry the most
risk. If either the commodity markets take longer Bottom-up
than expected to turn, or the capital markets
undergo periods of adverse conditions, stocks SECURITY
can become distressed. ANALYSIS
Therefore, it is critical to balance expected
future investment returns with security-specific
risk. We attempt to balance this risk by being
more heavily weighted towards higher-quality
more stable-securities. Investments that offer PORTFOLIO
higher expected returns, but with a greater level
of security specific risk carry smaller weights
CONSTRUCTION
and are more diversified in the portfolio. We
actively manage risk by continuously monitoring
position size, sector and country weights, and
balance sheet quality.

The ratio is currently at a bullish level that investors rarely see during their lifetime. According to our models, oil
is by far the most critical industrial commodity, while gold is the most important financial commodity. As a result, it
stands to reason that the ratio of these two commodities can offer many valuable insights. Historically our research has
shown when oil is cheap relative to gold, oil and oil-related investments represent excellent investment opportunities.

Over the last 150 years, a gold-to-oil ratio above 30 is exceptionally rare, occuring only when sentiment is incredibly
negative and oil prices are extraordinarily depressed. In the post-World War II environment, every time this ratio
surpasses 30 (or even 25), it has been a great opportunity to buy oil and oil related investments in our opinion.

We are at the bottom in global commodity prices. As you can see from Chart 1 (which plots
the price of commodities as measured against the US stock market going back 100 years), commodities
are as cheap today as they have ever been. Only in the depths of the Great Depression and at the
end of the dying Bretton Woods Gold Exchange Standard did commodities reach this level of
undervaluation relative to equities. For those investors willing to ignore the noise and extreme negative
commentary (regarding surging shale production, OPEC disunity, electric cars, and China’s
impending collapse), there is a proverbial fortune to be made if they invest today When commodities
are this cheap relative to stocks, the returns accruing to commodity investors have been spectacular.
For example, had an investor bought the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (or something equivalent)
in 1970, by 1974 he would have compounded his money at 50% per year. From 1970 to 1980
commodities compounded annually in price by 20%. If that same investor had bought commodities

money you invest. You may owe taxes on any capital gains realized through trading or through your own redemption. For some
investors, income may be subject to state and local taxes. Natural Resource investments may have different characteristics and
risk than do traditional investments, and can have more volatility than a more diversified portfolio.

Commodities Risk
The Firm concentrates its investments in the natural resources industry. Natural resources include, among other things, energy
commodities such as oil, natural gas, coal and uranium, precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium,
diamond, base metals such as copper, lead and zinc; ferrous metals; agricultural commodities; and fertilizer commodities such
as potash, phosphate and nitrogen. Historically, commodity investments have had a relatively high correlation with changes
in inflation and a relatively low correlation to stock and bond returns. Commodity-related securities and other instruments
provide exposure, which may include long and/or short exposure, to the investment returns of physical commodities that
trade in commodities markets, without investing directly in physical commodities. The Firm’s accounts will be exposed to
commodities through its investments in natural resources companies and its investments (such as derivatives and ETFs)
which are intended to provide economic exposure to one or more commodities or commodities indexes. The Firm’s
accounts may invest in commodity-related securities and other instruments, such as structured notes, swap agreements,
options, futures and options on futures that derive value from the price movement of commodities, or some other readily
measurable economic variable dependent upon changes in the value of commodities or the commodities markets. However,
investments in commodity related instruments do not generally provide a claim on the underlying commodity. The value
of commodity related instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the underlying
benchmark, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as droughts, floods,
weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The value
of commodity-related instruments will rise or fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index.
To the extent that the Firm’s accounts are more heavily exposed to a commodity sub-sector that undergoes a period of
weakness, an investor can expect poor returns from the Firm’s accounts. Investments in commodity-related instruments
may be subject to greater volatility than non-commodity-based investments. A highly liquid secondary market may not
exist for certain commodity-related instruments, and there can be no assurance that one will develop. Commodity-related
instruments are also subject to credit and interest rate risks that in general affect the values of debt securities. The Fund may
lose money on its commodity investments.
Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) is a composite index of commodity sector returns which represents a broadly diversi-
fied, unleveraged, long-only position in commodity futures.
