Example of Our Qualitative ESG Work

▪ CryptoCurrency, although volatile at the moment, can be

used as a secure store of value. Could displace gold to

hedge against inflation and geopolitical risk.

CryptoCurrency can also be easily transported across the

globe unlike gold. 34% of demand is driven by investment.

▪ Strong peer to peer public bullion exchanges can bring

efficiency to the gold market and significantly reduce

prices.

▪ Change in tastes where gold is no long sought for jewelry

purposes (54% of global demand).

▪ Innovation producing substances which are more efficient

in electricity conduction (12% of demand is industrial).

▪ Most companies operate in Developing Nations where

human rights laws are much more lax.

▪ Issues include: slave labour, employee safety (high injury

rate), outsourcing to pay lower wages, mining native

peoples land, operating in areas of conflict, and incentivizes

corruption (via value of precious metals).

▪ Women participation throughout the industry (at the mine

and corporate offices) is often very low.

▪ The method of mining has numerous impacts such as run

off (ex. Cyanide and heavy metals), ground and surface

water contamination, excessive water usage, earth

displacement (tailings, sinkholes, erosion), biodiversity

disruption, air quality (asbestos and arsenic particles), and

massive emissions of greenhouse gases.

▪ Management teams vary in terms of number of directors

and their independence from the corporation.

▪ Industry struggles with transparency, corruption, and

bribery throughout the value chain.

▪ Most Canadian producers do not employ a dual class share

system.

Fixed Income Portfolio

Positioning for Curve Steepening

Outlook

Yield Curve Projection (6-12 months)

▪ Bank of Canada has begun to speak more hawkishly about the Canadian economy on the back of stronger

underlying economic data

▪ Inflation expectations have begun to improve and BEAM expects this trend to continue

▪ While the elimination of NAFTA would have significant impacts on the Canadian economy it is unlikely

that this will occur due to the generally ineffective US Government. Furthermore, any impacts by a

reduction of free trade should be mitigated through short term political changes

▪ The potentially damage of rate hikes on consumers is mitigated by the significant potential of an upswing

in inflation

➢ Shift out of barbell, begin moving down the yield curve
