Lord Rothschild Reveals World is Currently Witnessing the Greatest Monetary Policy Experiment in History






By Amando Flavio
 

The uncertainty of the global economy, which is mostly led by powerful countries in the West, has prompted concerns from many financial analysts.


When the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, the global financial market experienced fluctuations. Some even predicted that it was the beginning of the end for the people of the United Kingdom. Since the Brexit crisis, the majority of people without the financial eye believe things have returned to normal.


However, that is not the case. In fact, the future of the global financial market looks gloomy. It is unpredictable and unstable. Finally, a member of the Rothschild banking family has openly voiced his opinion on the current state, as well as the future of the global financial market. Many Conspiracy Theorists believe the Rothschild banking family is behind catastrophic events in the world, such as wars between nations in order to make profit from those calamities. It is said the family has significant influence on some of the powerful world’s central banks, including the United States.

According to a prominent member of the family, Lord Nathaniel Charles Jacob Rothschild, also known as the 4th Baron Rothschild, low interest rates, negative yields on government debt and quantitative easing currently happening in the West, are part of the biggest financial experiment in world history. Lord Jacob Rothschild is a British citizen. He is the chairman of the Rothschild Investment Trust Capital Partners. He said the consequences of what are currently unfolding in the global financial market are unknown.

Writing in his company’s semi-annual financial report at the end of June 2016, Lord Jacob Rothschild stated: “The six months under review have seen central bankers continuing what is surely the greatest experiment in monetary policy in the history of the world. We are therefore in uncharted waters and it is impossible to predict the unintended consequences of very low interest rates, with some 30 percent of global government debt at negative yields, combined with quantitative easing on a massive scale.”
The investment banker, estimated to have a net worth about $5 billion, further said this experiment policy by central banks has led to a rapid growth of stock markets, especially in the United States. According to financial experts, since 2008, United States stocks have grown threefold, with investments growing and volatility remaining low.

 The greatest monetary experiment in history.
 


But despite this deliberate manipulation by United States Federal Reserve officials, Jacob Rothschild revealed that the real sector of economy didn’t enjoy such a profit. He said growth remains weak.

Lord Jacob Rothschild also stated that there is weak demand and deflation in many parts of the Developed World. To authenticate the claim by the investment banker that some countries in the Developed World are indeed battling with deflation, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report in June 2016, interest rates in the West, especially the United States, are at the lowest levels in 5,000 years. The current Federal interest rate of the United States stands at 0.500 %. In the United Kingdom, it is 0.250%.



Furthermore, in the battle against deflation, countries such as Sweden, Switzerland and Japan have even turned to negative key lending rates.
Another disaster in waiting on the global financial market is the current negative yields on government bonds. In June 2016, it was reported that a 10-year German government bond dipped below 0% for the first time in history.

Lord Rothschild: Why I've sold hundreds of millions of pounds worth of shares, and bought gold


Thx 馬兄提供資料


Lord Rothschild, chair of the £3.04 billion Rothschild Investment Trust, has revealed that while he has significantly reduced his exposure to listed shares, he has responded to the prevailing economic uncertainty by buying gold.



Lord Rothschild has been selling shares

Lord Rothschild and his family have an investment of well over £100 million in the Rothschild Investment Trust.

In his latest update to shareholders he commented that recent months have seen, ‘Central bankers continuing what is surely the greatest experiment in monetary policy in the history of the world. We are therefore in uncharted waters and it is impossible to predict the unintended consequences of very low interest rates, with some 30 per cent of global government debt at negative yields, combined with quantitative easing on a massive scale. To date, at least in stock market terms, the policy has been successful with markets near their highs, while volatility on the whole has remained low. Nearly all classes of investment have been boosted by the rising monetary tide. Meanwhile, growth remains anaemic, with weak demand and deflation in many parts of the developed world’

The veteran investor continued, ‘The geopolitical situation has deteriorated with the UK having voted to leave the European Union, the presidential election in the US in November is likely to be unusually fraught, while the situation in China remains opaque and the slowing down of economic growth will surely lead to problems. Conflict in the Middle East continues and is unlikely to be resolved for many years. We have already felt the consequences of this in France, Germany and the USA in terrorist attacks. In times like these, preservation of capital in real terms continues to be as important an objective as any in the management of your Company’s assets. In respect of your Company’s asset allocation, on quoted equities we have reduced our exposure from 55 per cent to 44 per cent.’


He added, ‘Our Sterling exposure was significantly reduced over the period to 34 per cent, and currently stands at approximately 25 per cent. We increased gold and precious metals to 8 per cent by the end of June. We also increased our allocation to absolute return and credit, which delivered positive returns over the period, benefiting from a number of special situations. Within this category our new association with Eisler Capital had an encouraging start. We expect this part of the portfolio to be an increasingly important contributor to overall returns. Our significant US Dollar position has now been somewhat reduced as, following the Dollar’s rise, we saw interesting opportunities in other currencies as well as gold, the latter reflecting our concerns about monetary policy and ever declining real yields.’

The Rothschild Investment Trust has returned 58 per cent over the past three years, compared to 15 per cent for the average trust in the AIC Flexible Investment sector, making it the top performing trust.
The trust trades at a premium to its net assets of 6.7 per cent.

'China's rich always ask how to keep wealth in the family', reveals Ariane de Rothschild










Ariane de Rothschild, who ranks second only to her husband, Benjamin, at the legendary financial dynasty's Edmond de Rothschild Group, says rich Chinese friends and clients ask her the same question whenever she visits the mainland: how can you keep your family wealth for generation after generation? And how has the Rothschild family done that for centuries?
Her husband is a sixth-generation scion of a dynasty that started more than two centuries ago.

The group's vice-chairwoman, who was born in El Salvador, educated in the United States and lives in Geneva, told the South China Morning Post that the question raised by many rich Chinese families, which had gathered their wealth rapidly in the past two to three decades, or even in just a few years as part of the national economic growth story, reflected the urgent need for those families to get to the real meaning of being wealthy.

"China is already in that kind of debate about their roles [of rich families] in the society, their contributions to the society and so on, besides just making money," Rothschild said. "Now it's also about how they can change the country or change the world.

"A lot of Chinese families that I see [ask me] the first question 'how do you do it?' as now we pass on [the wealth of the Rothschild family] to the seventh generation."

In recent years, family wealth and succession have been a hot topic on the mainland, already the world's second-biggest economy after the United States.

This year, a new Chinese phrase, tu hao - often translated as "nouveau riche" or "new money" - suddenly became extremely popular on the internet, especially in various debates about how rich Chinese families became rich so quickly and how they should manage their wealth and contribute more to society, rather than just enjoying their own luxury lifestyles.

Rothschild said she believed there was definitely something her group could do to help answer such questions, and that was why she had decided to focus more on the Greater China region - the mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan - where many rich families faced similar questions about family business successions.

"Now the second generation [of rich Chinese families] is very well educated in the US or the UK and obviously this generation will challenge the previous one [in the way they do business and what they are interested in doing] and the pressure will be even greater for the third generation," she said.

"The first generation is always struggling to make money, then the second generation's job is to keep the money and the third generation may have very different objectives," she added, noting that many Chinese clients turned to the Rothschild group because they felt at a loss about how to ensure that their second or third generations kept the family wealth.
The group has about 70 professionals in its Hong Kong office, which serves as a "Greater China hub" for its clients in the region.

The top challenge for Rothschild in Hong Kong, as elsewhere in the world, where it competes with other private banks including two Swiss firms with long histories of their own - UBS and Credit Suisse - is more than just seeking high returns on investments, but rather finding enough talent to take care of clients.

"We want to hire as many as we can, which is a big challenge," Rothschild said. "In Hong Kong, it's a very difficult market to attract talents.
"Besides salary and bonus, there's also corporate identity that people do consider.

"I don't have an upper limit [in terms of hiring] as the more we grow, the happier we will be to hire. You can see there is still room [in the office]."
The group's Hong Kong office occupies the top - 50th floor - of Exchange Square One in the heart of Central.

Rothschild said that because Rothschild was not a publicly traded company, unlike big American banks, the family business structure gave her more flexibility in terms of its headcount and budget for hiring.
Rothschild, who worked with her husband to reorganise the group's resources in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, said she recently set a target of increasing the assets under group management by 40 billion Swiss francs (HK$342 billion) by 2016. It currently has more than 160 billion francs in assets under management.

In Asia, China, Singapore and Japan were the three key markets which Rothschild was keen to take on, she said.

More Chinese clients had recently shown growing interest in setting up their own foundations and charity organisations, rather than just seeking high returns on their investments, Rothschild said, adding that she believed that was a good sign of the growing social responsibility shared by more rich Chinese families.
 
"After all, you need to know the meaning beyond money. Money for money's sake is not enough," she said, with that principle also reflected in the investment style of Rothschild, which is fully owned by the family, which was different from that of "big banks".

"People say you are so conservative [about investing] but my rule is to fight with those short-term contemplations to earn some quick and easy money," she said. "My objective is to keep my family business in an ethical and sustainable manner. "If you are a publicly traded company, I know there are a lot of pressures on returns, but I can take a conscious decision to say no."

羅斯切爾德專訪:《貨幣戰爭》讓我在中國暢通無阻

  Gordon兄 正如你先前提及猶太人最早在中國的時間表 :

確實是這樣。我們最早來中國是19世紀30年代,和當時的政府做一些商品生意,還投資了鐵路


宋鴻兵說:

本應讓中國警惕的資本家卻被如此膜拜,你們相信他的答記者問嗎? ---“羅斯切爾德專訪:《貨幣戰爭》讓我在中國暢通無阻。




《環球人物》雜誌記者 凌雲 孫夏力圖片

    
上午9點半,北京王府飯店咖啡廳裡非常安靜,81歲的伊夫林·羅斯柴爾德爵士挺直腰板坐在椅子上,喝著熱巧克力。他的神態和思維,比實際年齡顯得年輕得多。唯一能顯出一些老態的,是他有些衰退的聽力以及緩慢低沉的話音。另外,他堅持不坐旁邊的沙發,因為“那對我的腰不好”。

    
看到環球人物雜誌記者,羅斯柴爾德的第一句話是​​:“很抱歉,我不能用中文和你們交流。”採訪開始後,他溫和的態度、幽默的話語,讓人很難相信,他就是曾被稱為“歐洲第六帝國”的傳奇家族的第五代掌門人。傳奇中的精彩一章

    
羅斯柴爾德的名片上有兩個頭銜:“氣象中心”主席和EL羅斯柴爾德有限公司董事長。在2003年之前,他還有個頭銜是洛希爾父子有限公司主席,擁有這一頭銜的人,就是這個家族的正式掌門人。

    
羅斯柴爾德家族是一本大部頭的傳奇書,伊夫林·羅斯柴爾德是傳奇中的精彩一章。 2007年出版的一本國內暢銷書《貨幣戰爭》,以小說家的筆調,繪聲繪色地描述了這個家族“操控金融世界”的種種故事,讓“羅斯柴爾德”這個名字在中國如雷貫耳又充滿爭議

    
羅斯柴爾德家族,是源自德國的一個猶太金融家族,18世紀後期開始在歐洲金融界呼風喚雨。 19世紀發展到巔峰,控制了整個歐洲的金融命脈,其擁有的財富甚至占到當時世界總財富的一半,達到50萬億美元。世界主要經濟體的國債由他們發行,每天黃金交易的開盤價由他們來確定,世界各國的股市都隨著羅斯柴爾德資金的走向而波動,他們的族徽成為世界金融權力的象徵。

    
如今的羅斯柴爾德家族,從業務總量到財富規模都大不如前,但依舊不可小覷,其業務領域涵蓋了私人資產管理、葡萄酒釀造、藝術品收藏和慈善事業。

    
現在的家族掌門人伊夫林·羅斯柴爾德生於1931年,其父安東尼是當時的家族掌門人。二戰時期,羅斯柴爾德在美國度過了他的童年,後來就讀於英國哈羅公學和劍橋大學三一學院,但在獲得學位前退學了。青年時代,他熱衷於社交、開名牌跑車、玩純種賽馬、打馬球。 26歲時,他進入洛希爾父子有限公司,接受家族傳統金融業務的訓練。

    
1976年,羅斯柴爾德被任命為洛希爾父子有限公司主席,1982年成為羅斯柴爾德家族商業銀行控股公司的董事長。 2003年,他將掌門人之位傳給堂弟大衛·羅斯柴爾德,自己繼續擔任洛希爾父子有限公司非執行主席。同一年,他與妻子林恩成立了EL羅斯柴爾德有限公司,管理他們的各種投資。

    
除了在家族企業中的職位,羅斯柴爾德還曾經是英國《經濟學人》雜誌的董事長和《每日電訊報》的董事,也是英國商業銀行及證券公司協會主席、德比爾斯聯合礦業董事等。他擁有大批純種賽馬,是聯合賽馬場的前主席。作為英國女王伊麗莎白二世的財務顧問,他在1989年被授以爵位。

    
羅斯柴爾德結過三次婚。 1966年,他娶了噴氣發動機工程師斯坦利·胡克爵士之女珍妮特·畢曉普,1971年離婚。 1973年,他與美國佛羅里達州一房地產開發商的女兒維多利亞·婁·肖特結婚,兩人於1974​​年、1977年和1978年分別生下女兒傑西卡、兒子安東尼和大衛,這段婚姻維持到2000年。同年11月30日,美國律師、企業家林恩·福雷斯特成為他的妻子。“傳言就是傳言”

    
環球人物雜誌:羅斯柴爾德家族由於一本暢銷書《貨幣戰爭》,在中國非常出名。其中的內容屬實嗎?

    
羅斯柴爾德:這本書我知道,裡面關於我們家的傳言不完全準確。不過它確實讓我在中國做事更加順利了,所以我也沒有刻意去更正它(笑)。人們喜歡講故事,他們也編寫洛克菲勒家族的故事、卡內基家族的故事……我們不介意這些。

    
環球人物雜誌:您的家族企業一直沒有上市,也從未公佈過財富總額。外界有種猜測,認為羅斯柴爾德家族的財富是比爾·蓋茨的600倍,您的家族才是真正的世界首富。是這樣的嗎?

    
羅斯柴爾德:傳言就是傳言,我只知道交稅,不清楚我的家族到底有多少錢。我認為,財產的多少不是最重要的,重要的是做正確的生意,對你的所作所為負責,照顧好你的員工、客戶,保證自己的信譽和競爭力。

    
環球人物雜誌:有人說您的祖輩內森·羅斯柴爾德是因戰爭而發財,所以是戰爭成就了您的家族,您怎麼看?

    
羅斯柴爾德:我想你指的是1815年的滑鐵盧戰役,我的家族資助了威靈頓公爵(打敗拿破崙)。那時候很多戰士是僱傭兵,如果你周五不給他們錢,下週一他們可能就到敵方陣營了,我們做的主要工作就是給士兵發工資。外界傳說內森通過購買英國公債而發了大財,我想應該沒有那麼戲劇化。

    
我不認為戰爭成就了羅斯柴爾德家族,我的童年是在二戰中度過的,作為猶太人,我有非常慘痛的記憶。

    
環球人物雜誌:據說您2000年的婚禮克林頓夫婦也參加了​​,您是不是十分重視與政府的關係?做出商業決策的時候是否會考慮政治因素?

    
羅斯柴爾德:我的婚禮克林頓夫婦沒有參加,但是我們的關係很好。我們和各國政府的關係也一直都很好。

    
我們當然會考慮政治因素,你所從事的業務會不同程度地受到各種政治因素的影響。比如貨幣政策,人民幣升值、美元貶值、歐元波動,這些對你的投資決策影響很大。你還要考慮國情,比如有的國家要對油田實行國有化,你投資的時候就必須謹慎。

    
環球人物雜誌:有個傳說,100年前泰坦尼克號起航前,很多保險公司都爭相為其承保,除了羅斯柴爾德旗下的保險公司以外。有人說你們已經預見到了泰坦尼克號的沉沒。這能否說明羅斯柴爾德家族的一個經營理念,就是越是大家蜂擁而上的,越是要遠離?

    
羅斯柴爾德:(笑)那個傳說不是真的。外界有很多所謂的投資“不敗神話”,都言之鑿鑿。對此我只能說:“投資總是有成功也有失敗,我們家族也一樣。”“世界的未來在亞洲”

    
環球人物雜誌:聽說您的家族跟中國的淵源很深,能否介紹一下?

    
羅斯柴爾德:確實是這樣。我們最早來中國是19世紀30年代,和當時的政府做一些商品生意,還投資了鐵路我小時候就知道了很多關於中國的事情,我父親第一次來中國是1910年,他是中國的大粉絲,收集了很多陶罐。二戰時期,我的教父在重慶做教會工作,當時是全民抗日的時代。他回到美國後給我講了很多關於中國的不可思議的故事。這些故事使我很早就意識到世界的未來在亞洲,所以我一直在亞洲開展工作。先是在印度、馬來西亞、新加坡等地。 1973年,我決定來中國。

    
環球人物雜誌:那個時候中國還沒有改革開放,外國人來中國是件很困難的事吧?

    
羅斯柴爾德:對,我向中國政府提出申請後,經過重重波折才獲得批准。不過中國人對我還是很熱情的,我去參觀北京大學,一個學生問我:“你打乒乓球嗎?”我出於禮貌跟他打了一局,只得了3分,美妙的開始(笑)。 1977年我第二次來到中國,花了半年的時間走了很多城市,把《經濟學人》雜誌帶進了中國。上世紀80年代後期,我們在北京建立了辦事處。

    
環球人物雜誌:您去了中國很多城市,是談生意嗎?

    
羅斯柴爾德:不是。我父親教會我一件很重要的事:不要困在自己的辦公室裡,要走出去,見識更多的文化。所以我始終在世界各地跑,學習這個國家的文化,跟很多人交談。我第一次來中國的時候就去了長城,很受震撼。但過了一些年我去廣東時,有人問我:“為什麼現在老外來到中國,都不想去看長城了?”現在的一些商人太過功利了,跟一個國家做生意卻不想去了解這個國家的文化。

    
環球人物雜誌:您對中國目前的投資環境怎麼看?

    
羅斯柴爾德:中國的投資環境越來越好了,但也有很多挑戰。你們有13億人口,教育、衛生都是難題。農村地區需要建設,資源配置也不夠合理。

    
環球人物雜誌:現在在中國的業務是什麼?

    
羅斯柴爾德:我成立了一個氣象中心,擔任主席。現在央視每天7:30播放的天氣預報用的就是我們的信息。我也是美國國際管理集團IMG的董事會成員,一直在幫助其亞太區副主席朱亞當先生髮展在中國的業務。目前IMG已經涉及全球體育、時尚和傳媒文化行業。在中國政府致力於促進文化繁榮的大背景下,我認為IMG能夠為中國文化產業的發展做出更大的貢獻。

    
環球人物雜誌:中國很多人不願意投資實業,寧可去炒房子。作為一個投資人,您怎麼看?

    
羅斯柴爾德:我的看法是這樣,說錯的話請糾正我。我想在中國,國有企業的比例比私有企業大,是否國有企業比私有企業得到了更多的機會?經驗告訴我,國有企業和私有企業可以建立很好的合作夥伴關係,共同建造道路、醫院、學校等等。“年輕人要有全球視野”

    
環球人物雜誌:中國很多企業家現在面臨著企業傳承的問題,羅斯柴爾德家族有什麼培養和選拔繼承人的經驗?

    
羅斯柴爾德:(繼承人)必須有專業知識、非常廣闊的視野,必須忠誠、有責任感。年輕一代出去學習、了解世界是極為重要的。上世紀80年代,我在上海遇到一群年輕人,他們總是穿著領尖帶釦子的襯衫,我知道他們肯定去過美國,因為這種款式的襯衫在美國很流行。這群年輕人現在都成了社會的中堅力量。我知道很多中國企業家都把孩子送到國外接受教育,這樣對他們擁有全球視野很有幫助。

    
另外,學徒的方式也非常管用,讓有經驗的人帶著年輕人工作,教會他們最實用的東西。

    
環球人物雜誌:您的孩子都從事什麼職業?

    
羅斯柴爾德:女兒傑西卡正在美國加州製作一部關於希區柯克的電影。大兒子安東尼在倫敦,是個設計師。

    
我的小兒子大衛很棒,他是個環保主義者、探險家,他去年花了3個月的時間,乘坐用塑料瓶製成的筏子橫渡太平洋,從美國舊金山漂到澳大利亞的悉尼,目的是要宣傳環保。

    
環球人物雜誌:孩子們沒有繼承您的事業,不感到遺憾嗎?

    
羅斯柴爾德:這是孩子們的興趣,我不能干涉。其實,當你逐漸成長的時候,你會獲得不同的技能,培養起不同的興趣和特長。這些特長只要是正當的,都應該得到鼓勵。或許有一天
他們也會對投資感興趣呢,誰也說不准。

Lord Rothschild Takes £130m Bet Against the Euro

Lord Rothschild has taken a near-£130m bet against the euro as fears continue to grow that the single currency will break up. 

Lord Rothschild has led RIT since 1988 Photo: AP

 

The member of the banking dynasty has taken the position through RIT Capital Partners, the £1.9bn investment trust of which he is executive chairman.
The fact that the former investment banker, a senior member of the Rothschild family, has taken such a view will be seen as a further negative for the currency.
The latest omen follows news in The Daily Telegraph late last week that the government of Finland is already preparing for the euro’s break-up.
RIT, which Lord Rothschild has led since 1988, had a -7pc net short position in terms of principal currency exposures on the euro at the end of July, up from -3pc at the end of January. Given a net asset value of £1.836bn at the end of July, the position is worth £128m.
Sources close to RIT suggested that the position was not a dogmatic negative view on the euro as a currency, but rather a realistic approach on a currency that remains relatively weak. 

It is not the first time Lord Rothschild has used currency positions as a form of hedge. RIT significantly increased its exposure in sterling after the currency’s decline in 2008, but then scaled back on both the sterling and the euro, anticipating the ensuing recessions in both regions.
Some 53pc of RIT’s assets were in US dollars at the end of July, in part a reflection of its deal to buy a 37pc stake in Rockefeller Financial Services at the end of May.
Lord Rothschild is not alone in seeing value in shorting – or selling down – the euro. At a conference organised by business news channel CNBC in July, Mary Callahan Erdoes, head of JPMorgan Asset Management, said “shorting the euro” when asked for her single best investment idea.
In June, George Soros – the billionaire investor best known in the UK for helping to force sterling out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992 by betting against the British currency – said that European leaders at that point had a “three-month window” to save the euro.

羅斯柴爾德:十二五計劃是千載難逢投資機會

英國羅斯柴爾德資本合夥公司主席雅各布



新浪財經訊北京時間7月25日晚間消息,

本文為英國羅斯柴爾德資本合夥公司主席雅各佈在中國企業家英國行活動的早餐會上的發言。以下為雅各布發言全文中譯,他特別指出,中國十二五計劃將帶來千載難逢投資機會。

David,非常感謝你讓我在此致詞。十分感謝各位在百忙之中抽空蒞臨,在座的各位貴賓都是全球商界,學術界和政界的精英,還有中國最傑出的企業家們,十分榮幸能與各位共度時光,我為能有諸位如此出色的聽眾感到無比榮幸。


我久仰中國企業傢俱樂部的盛名,很高興藉此機會結識各位,並向諸位請教你們所經營的商業帝國。我很難過地聽聞了近期在北京由於暴雨所導致的慘劇,衷心希望你們和你們的家庭一切安好。自20年前中國經濟改革開始,唯一不變的就是變化與增長,而諸位無疑在各自的領域是最傑出的。


您或許知道,我的家族成員與中國互動往來已經將近200年了您或許可以說,對中國的迷戀滲入我的血液。早在19世紀開始,我的家族就已經涉足貿易和金融領域,而這恰恰是羅斯柴爾德家族的大部分企業在歐洲乃至世界的基石。


 我的家在英國倫敦附近的沃茲登莊園,是費迪南勳爵在1880年代建造,並由我的家族成員照料至今,每年我們要接待35萬遊客。

我非常執著於傳統遺產遺蹟的保護工作,除了維護沃茲登莊園,我還負責了斯賓塞宮殿的修繕工程,這座也許是倫敦最別緻壯觀的私人宮殿,也曾是戴安娜家族的居所,她的兒子,威廉王子,我們未來的國王,仍有保有小部分產權。


 我的企業,羅斯柴爾德資本合夥公司正坐落於斯賓塞宮殿,並在聖詹姆士設有辦公室。國際奧林匹克委員會指定將斯賓塞宮殿作為贊助商如可口可樂、通用電氣、歐米茄和三星(微博)的娛樂休息場所。若為如此,我非常希望可以要求諸位前去參觀做客。

我擔任羅斯柴爾德資本合夥公司的主席已經有20餘年,我十分榮幸地監管這家在任何基準指數評測中都能脫穎而出的公司。在過去的十年中,我們比MSCI全球指數的淨資產價值增長率,超過近十倍。


 我們的第一部分投資包括了,我們自己直接投資於未上市的公司;第二部分,佔了我們資產很大一部分,包括了外部管理者和我們自己直接管理的上市公司。我們的宗旨多年從未改變,那就是“保護股東資本,創造長期收益”。保護股東資本是公司至高無上的信條,我們不會為換取短期的資本增長拿股東資本冒險。即使這意味著不能在某些時期全力參與市場,我們也心甘情願。我們只挑選能夠創造穩固和持續價值的投資機會,並一直保持著足夠的流動性和靈敏度,以便在金融危機發生之時及時應對。

 舉個最近的例子,在2010年,我們投資了一家叫做BTG Pactual的巴西投資銀行,這家銀行是由管理著15億美元資產的BTG,和UBS Pactual這家管理著570億美元資產的大銀行組成。我們與中投公司、新加坡政府投資公司、安大略教師退休金計劃、阿布扎比投資理事會、聖多明戈家族和阿涅利家族共同投資。項目伊始,我們與中投公司在其估值90億美元時參與投資,而其後BTG Pactual於今年年初成功上市,市值145億美元。這無疑給我們雙方都交出了出色的答卷。

機會總是和強有力的關係網密不可分,在過去一年中,藉此我們已經建立起了一些重要的戰略合作夥伴關係。我希望我們可以從中有所斬獲,同時我也深信中國將獲益匪淺。首先,我們已經和埃德蒙羅斯柴爾德集團成立了一個合資公司,以加強羅斯柴爾德家族的內部聯繫。埃德蒙羅斯柴爾德集團在法國、瑞士、盧森堡的資產管理界有著重要的一席之地,它管理著超過1500億美元的資產。這次結盟將大幅度提升我們能力,更好地鑑別百里挑一的投資機會,並積極拓展與第三方基金管理的互動。


憑藉曾經出色的互補能力和投資經驗讓我們在五月成立了另外一家前途無量的合夥企業,我越洛克菲勒公司的戴維。洛克菲勒相識50年,他現在已經96歲了,我們都認為現在是攜手合作的時機。和許多人一樣,我無比期待洛克菲勒公司的發展,​​而將要與其建立起的合作夥伴關係,會是我們的公司也更是我的家族歷史性的時刻。這個合作將投資界兩個最富盛名的名字聯接在一起,我們將用其作為全球資本市場上的投資活動的發展平台。我們真摯地希望,這次合資將伴隨著可觀的收益,並與中國緊密聯合。洛克菲勒家族和洛克菲勒基金會與中國有著長期的協助關係,這樣我們將和洛克菲勒金融公司更加活躍的參與中國市場。


您也許希望了解我對於全球經濟危機的一些看法,已經整整一年過去。正是去年7月,我在北京大學的500位聽眾前做了一次與現狀差不多的講話,“前方依然風險重重,威脅著全世界。全球經濟正在下滑。目前,美國的經濟復甦依然非常脆弱,數百萬人處於失業的狀態。由於美國政府加印鈔票,美元出現貶值,政府赤字激增。在歐洲,貨幣聯盟前途未卜,由於歐盟在竭力控制政府赤字,同時加大了對一些成員國的支出,增長速度有可能減緩。中東地區的暴動導致了原油(90.26,0.87,0.97%)價格的飆升。非洲及其他貧困國家目前正飽受糧食的困擾,這些國家的糧食價格大幅增長了70%。由於財政和貨幣刺激政策即將停止,有可能對全球經濟的增長產生影響。各國當局可以繼續採取“緩兵之計”,但全球經濟的結構性問題依然沒有得到解決。


儘管我一年前十分悲觀,可是現況說明了實際情況更為嚴峻。西方世界在過去20年中所累積的令人震驚的債務數量委實苦難重重。考慮到政策的嚴苛,將不太可能會帶來快速的經濟復甦。若為減少債務而製定的激進的政策也勢必會帶來更多的社會和政治問題。西歐的失業率,尤其是年輕人中,高達10%-25%。國際貨幣基金組織(微博)計算了由於消費減少給經濟增長帶來的影響-其乘數效應,每1美元的赤字減少將帶來2美元的GDP下跌。我們問心自問,是否會用一個萬全之策,降低利息,相對的貨幣貶值,通貨膨脹,這些政策手段都失去了他們的功效。恐怕,西方世界的經濟復甦之路將會是一條艱難重重的漫長之路。意識到這些危險,相比2008年以前的活躍時刻,我們比以前更加保守。


因此,我們將集中精力在那些除本地市場之外亦可有所成長的公司上。當然,在困難時期會有特殊的投資機會。最大的成功是會伴隨著血流成河的,但是我們大體著眼於投資那些信譽卓著的連鎖企業,有著出色的資產負債表,有著低股價和較低的每股自由現金流。我們還關注著先進技術領域的公司,他們的未來不取決於經濟繁榮與否,也不依賴於中央銀行為了刺激經濟的救市政策。在過去12個月中,我們更大膽的追尋這個目標,在於此同時,也一併減少著我們在以往偏愛領域的關注。目前情況下,當許多國家尋求經濟增長而貶值貨幣的時候,黃金(1622.80,7.70,0.48%)或許仍是應對通貨膨脹的重要保險措施。在此背景下,我們樂觀地看待金磚四國,尤其是中國的前景。然而,我們很清楚前面有著艱難的挑戰,而下一階段的發展需要新的策略和方針。我饒有興趣地研究了中國的第12個五年計劃,並十分有幸與王岐山副總理進行了討論。這份深謀遠慮的文件,表明這個國家的領導人下定決心要將經濟主導從出口轉換為國內消費,並製定政策致力於新興工業的發展,這些工業將會在十年內成為中國的脊柱,比如生物科技、新能源、高科技設備、節能環保、清潔能源交通工具、新材料和下一代IT產業。這7項產業佔據了中國GDP的3%,而政府計劃在2020年將這一數字提升至15%,完成這一目標勢必需要該領域的中國企業拓展海外市場並取得全球性的成功。


這次全球經濟整合將帶來千載難逢的投資機會,相信在這一點上我們雙方存在很大的互利共贏的合作空間。在座有人已經了解到,我們與科瑞集團的鄭躍文先生正在積極的合作,作為我們的第一支基金,我們計劃投資於那些在醫療保健、科技與能源方面具有優勢的西方公司,同時這些公司也將從中國消費者的淨收入增長以及不斷提升的生活水平需求中獲益。舉個潛在的投資例子,再生能源領域中我們正在觀察一些西方企業的綠色科技,這些在確保了利潤的同時也能帶來資源需求減少的雙贏局面。通過允許這些公司在中國建造生產基地,他們降低了成本並且打開了中國市場,也提供了成長的支架讓東方和西方之間的合作最優化。


我希望諸位能夠認可,這次合作展現出獨特的視角的無限的潛力。我的講話就到這裡,我很榮幸可以在此聆聽學習,如果諸位有任何問題,我將不遺餘力地解答,請各位暢所欲言。謝謝各位的傾聽,也再次感謝諸位在百忙之中出席我們的早餐會。

Rothschild Gold Fixers, Dubai & the Annunaki

http://deanhenderson.wordpress.com/


(Excerpted from Big Oil & Their Bankers: Chapter 6: Bank of Crooks & Criminals Int’l)
It was during the 1980’s US/Saudi-financed mujahadeen offensive on the Afghan people that Dubai – one of the emirates comprising the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – became a duty-free port and drug money laundry, serving much the same role as Hong Kong had for the Illuminati banksters during the Vietnam War.  In 2007 Halliburton moved it’s headquarters to Dubai.
Where Hong Kong had financed CIA opium for arms swaps in the Golden Triangle, Dubai served the CIA smack for weapons trade in the Golden Crescent – an area which comprises parts of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Golden Crescent opium production eclipsed Golden Triangle production just as the CIA was springing into action in Afghanistan.  While international banks in Dubai laundered the proceeds, Sharjah – another UAE emirate – housed a duty-free airport specializing in covert weapons shipments. [1]
Gold is the currency of drug and weapons traffickers and Dubai is the favorite hub in the global bullion trade.  The British Bank of the Middle East dominates the Dubai gold trade. It is 100% owned by Hong Kong Shanghai Bank (HSBC), which also monopolizes the Hong Kong gold trade along with Kleinwort Benson, which has close relations with Rio Tinto, a company founded on Matheson family opium proceeds.  Matheson’s heirs are the Keswick and Swire families which dominate the board of directors at HSBC, Jardine Matheson, P&O Nedlloyd and Cathay Pacific Airlines. [2]
Kleinwort’s Sharps Pixley subsidiary is one of five firms that gather daily at N. M. Rothschild & Sons in London to unilaterally “fix” the price of gold.  Another is Mocatta Metals which is majority-owned by Standard Chartered – the bank Cecil Rhodes founded – where P&O’s Lord Inchcape sits on the board. P&O is the world’s largest port operator.  Mocatta is a favorite conduit for Israeli Mossad financing.
Midland Bank subsidiary Samuel Montagu is a third London gold “fixer”.  Midland was bought by HSBC in 1999 and is partially owned by the Kuwaiti al-Sabah clan.  The other two gold fixers are Johnson Matthey and N. M. Rothschild, both of which have interlocking boards with Anglo-American and HSBC. [3]
Anglo-American – controlled by South Africa’s Oppenheimer family – owns both Engelhardt, which enjoys a near monopoly in refining the world’s gold, and DeBeers, which monopolizes the global diamond trade.
It was the mysterious Count of Saint-Germain who first claimed to possess the esoteric knowledge necessary for the transmutation of metals like gold and for removing flaws from diamonds.  The Count stayed for a time with William IX of Hesse, whose financial adviser was Mayer Rothschild.  The Count may have imparted his secret wisdom upon young Mayer and his House of Hesse employer, who in partnership came to control the Cabalistic Frankfurt Freemason Lodge which housed the German Illuminati. [4]
Diamonds are important in the laundering of drug money since they are small and easy to transport, yet hold great value.  Sir Harry Oppenheimer’s De Beers controls 85% of the global wholesale diamond market.  De Beers is a subsidiary of Anglo-American where Sir Harry sits on the board.
The current De Beers chairman is Nicky Oppenheimer.  De Beers’ most valuable diamond mines are in southern Africa.  One called Jwaneng, at the edge of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, may be the most valuable property on earth.  This vein of kimberlite, which produces diamonds, was only discovered in 1973.  De Beers also mines diamonds from off-shore platforms off the coast of Namibia.
The world’s largest store of diamonds sits under De Beers London headquarters.  The company sells rough diamonds ten times a year in London to 125 hand-picked customers at a take-it-or-leave-it set price.  De Beers was indicted in 1994 for price-fixing by the US Justice Department and to this day company officials do not set foot on US soil for fear they may be nabbed by US authorities. [5]
Diamond cutting was until recently done in only two places in the world- Antwerp, Belgium and Ashqelon, Israel.  In Antwerp the cutting was financed by Banque Bruxelles-Lambert, which is controlled by the Lambert family – cousins to the Rothschilds and owners of the scandal-ridden Drexel Burnham Lambert.
In Israel the cutting was financed by Bank Leumi, Israel’s biggest finance house which is controlled by the British Barclays Bank.  Sir Harry Oppenheimer also sits on the Barclay’s board. [6]
Recently Gujarat, India has become the location of choice for 90% of global diamond cutting due to the cheap labor it affords.  Bangkok, Tel Aviv and New York handle the rest. Eighty percent of diamond trading still occurs in Antwerp.
De Beers, like gold-fixer Standard Chartered, was founded by Cecil Rhodes in South Africa during the 1880’s.  Rhodes’ last will and testament created the Royal Institute for International Affairs which spawned the Council on Foreign Relations. Rhodes Scholars like Bill Clinton are funded by the Rhodes Trust.
The principal trustee for the Rhodes estate is Lord Alfred Milner, who in 1899 provoked the Boer War through which Britain and Rhodes gained control over South Africa’s diamond and gold mines. There, black South Africans toil in one of the world’s most dangerous jobs and receive almost nothing for enriching the Oppenheimers and their cronies.
The world’s three biggest mining companies – BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Anglo American – are controlled by Oppenheimer/Rothschild/RD/Shell mob. In 2010 the first two talked of merging.
Rhodes was a leader in European Freemasonry, where he mingled with the likes of the Rothschilds, King George IV, King William IV, Lord Randolph Churchill (Winston’s father), the Marquis of Salisbury, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling and Oscar Wilde.
The group was preoccupied with the notion of an Aryan super-race, a notion shared by Adolf Hitler and the ruling paradigm for the South African apartheid regime.  Their “secret knowledge” of human creation, which defies both creationist and evolutionary theories, is bound up in the tale of the Anunnaki, who according to recently uncovered Sumerian clay tablets arrived around 6000 BC in Sumeria from planet Nubira.
A growing number of researchers led by Zechariah Sitchin say the Annunaki bred human slaves known in the Hebrew bible as Adamu and in English as Earthlings to mine gold necessary to patch up a hole in Nubira’s ozone layer which was caused by a collision with another planet.  One Anunnaki leader was named Nazi.  The alien gods who created “Adam” called their Mesopotamian colony E.DIN.  They traveled the world in search of gold, which NASA scientists agree would be the best patch for our own ozone problem.  Scientists have discovered mining operations going back as far as 100,000 BC in Africa, South and Central America. [7]
The Adamus who left Eden became gold mining slaves and their worldwide deployment may explain the many holes in evolutionary and anthropological theories of the day.  It may also explain phenomena such as the Nazca Lines in Peru and the Great Pyramids of Egypt.
Adam and his descendants became slaves to these Lords.  The biblical Hebrew term avod which is commonly translated “worship” actually means “work”.  Adam and the biblical characters were not worshiping God, they were working for him as slaves.  And “God” may connote the Anunnaki invaders.
The Sumerian tablets provide an intriguing explanation as to why man settled into agriculture in Mesopotamia from the much easier and more sustainable practice of hunting and gathering.
The tablets state simply that the Annunaki gods made them do it.  Cities grew and the Annunaki placed one of its god/human hybrids in charge of each new urban center.  These rulers became Kings, their dynastic right to rule based on bloodlines to the Anunnaki.
The first such king was Cush, who was Noah’s grandson and the father of Nimrod.  Some researchers believe Yahweh was actually Annunaki earth mission commander Enli, who was a brutal tyrant.
Abraham, who all major religions claim as their patriarch, may have also been an Anunnaki hybrid.  The secret knowledge Abraham purveyed serves as the basis for all modern secret societies, from Freemasonry to Cabala to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Whether true or not, what is important is that the Illuminati elite believe that these special bloodlines give them the God-given right to enslave all Earthlings.
By the mid-1890s Freemason Cecil Rhodes launched the Diamond Syndicate, whose successor Central Selling Organization still monopolizes the global diamond trade.  Rhodes’ forays were financed by the Rothschild family.
In November 1997, when Baron Edmond Rothschild died in Geneva, he left in his trust substantial holdings in De Beers. [8]  According to former British Intelligence officer John Coleman, author of The Committee of 300, “Rhodes was principal agent for the Rothschilds…who dispossessed the South African Boers of their birthright, the gold and diamonds that lay beneath their soil.”
Coleman fails to mention that the Boers were themselves invaders and that black South Africans held the true birthright to this vast wealth.  Still, Coleman’s statement regarding the Rhodes/Rothschild relationship appears on the mark.
In 1888 Cecil Rhodes wrote his third will and left everything to Lord Rothschild.  Rhodes, Milner and Rothschild founded the Business Roundtable in London in early 1900 which charted a course for expansion of the British Empire and for Crown control over the global economy that exists to this day.
