Gold Is 10% Underweight in Most Portfolios — WisdomTree’s CIO on What to Own Now | Jeremy Schwartz
WisdomTree CIO Jeremy Schwartz says most investors are massively underweight hard assets, with commodity ETFs at less than 2% of the $14 trillion US ETF market and gold portfolios roughly 10% below an optimal allocation. He explains why commodities, gold, and strategic metals like copper are critical in a world of defense spending, supply chain risk, and geopolitical conflict. Jeremy also argues that current inflation fears are overblown, that stocks remain the single best inflation hedge based on 200 years of data, and that AI-driven productivity could mean shorter work weeks and higher real wages. He breaks down why Japan and Korea's AI-linked companies are trading at single-digit PEs, why the private credit sell-off may be overdone, and why China-Taiwan is the tail risk most investors still aren't pricing in.
