And thirdly, calculate and visualize implied returns for gold.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>Qaurum is powered by the Gold Valuation Framework (GVF), an academically validated methodology <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>With Qaurum, investors can calculate how various macroeconomic and geopolitical environments might impact the implied performance of gold over the next five years as well as long-term 30-year returns.<\/p>\n<p>Behind a user-friendly interface, Qaurum is powered by the Gold Valuation Framework (GVF), an academically validated methodology based on the principle that the price of gold and its performance can be reliably explained by the interaction of demand and supply.<\/p>\n<p>GVF and Qaurum were developed in response to research suggesting that institutional investors cite the lack of an established approach to valuing gold as a key barrier to investment, according to the WGC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the WGC\u2019s key mandates is to reinforce gold as a mainstream investment asset,\u201d chief market strategist John Reade commented, adding that the introduction of Qaurum is \u201can important step in that direction\u201d since it provides investors with a framework for evaluating the metal\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause gold has a unique dual nature as both a consumer good and an investment, some view its performance as unpredictable,\u201d initiative project lead Juan Carlos Artigas said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>He said that Qaurum \u201cdoes not forecast the gold price\u201d but rather \u201chelps investors intuitively understand\u201d the drivers of gold performance and the connection between demand, supply, as well as financial, economic and geopolitical events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new platform, called Qaurum, will let investors assess how gold may react across different economic environments in three
