The World Gold Council regularly contributes to public and closed door discussions on the role of gold in reserve asset management. We offer educational workshops for reserve managers seeking to enhance their understanding of the gold market. These closed door sessions are available to mid-level reserve managers. Topics include the benefits that gold can bring to a reserve portfolio, hedging with gold, fundamentals of the gold market and how to trade and vault bullion. The speakers, participants and discussions that take place in these sessions are confidential.
