Gold lures inflation-wary hedge fund chiefs

(Reuters) – U.S. hedge fund managers are increasingly likely to buy gold to protect their personal wealth against inflation, an investment management firm said on Thursday.

London-based Moonraker said a survey it carried out in the United States found that 20 out of 22 fund managers interviewed bought physical gold for personal investment on conces the U.S.’ quantitative easing programme may lead to higher prices.

“Gold is the ultimate currency, performing best when economies are at extremes, whether that is inflationary or deflationary,” Jeremy Charlesworth, chief investment officer at Moonraker, said in a statement.

“The managers I met in the U.S. know that if the politicians get the quantitative easing programme wrong, then the value of money relative to real assets will dwindle,” he added.
