With so much happening in the gold market on a daily basis, often as individuals we struggle to find spare time in the working day to build insight into the bigger picture and the detail of our sector. At this years Gold Investment Symposium the programme includes a series of four masterclasses to give delegates the opportunity to take a closer at important aspects of the financial landscape around gold. Each masterclass is being hosted by an expert in the field, who will examine and discuss a specific subject.

Compared to Western nations, China still holds very little Gold - a situation they are trying desperately hard to reverse. Dr Cowie explains why he expects an historic multi-year rally in precious metal equities.
