Mats Larsson has spent the past 18 years exploring the amount of resources that will be needed to change transport systems to electric vehicles on a large scale. He has come to the conclusion that very large investments will be needed in power generation, grid capacity, charging infrastructure, and not least in the training of individuals to take on the various roles that will be needed through the transformation. Entirely new roles as electromobility strategists and architects will become necessary, but large numbers of electricians, and workers in charging infrastructure production and other areas will be needed as well. The EU, the UK government, and air regulators in California have decided to ban the sales of new fossil fuel cars from 2035, but the investments that will be necessary to go through with these decisions will be so large that it is hardly conceivable how it can be done…

Simon started off on the normal path to success….
 
After completing my MBA at Birmingham University, he worked in the Corporate Finance team at Singer & Friedlander. He was then headhunted to join the Senior Banker group at ABN Amro and after several years he became one of the founding members of their Financial Sponsors team within the Corporate Finance Franchise. From there he went on to become Head of Investment Management at Strutt & Parker Real Estate Financial Services and then he joined Topland (one of the World’s largest private property companies) as a Director.
 
That was considered “successful”

He had a Porsche a nice house, a good job…..

Thought he was pretty successful. "All that and a cup of tea”.

Turns out - he wasn’t.

He was a director of one of the World’s largest private companies in my 30’s. Anyone "looking in"….would be impressed.

But they didn’t see his pension statement. he kept that to himself.

On the face of it…..it didn’t look too bad. But there were an awful lot of “assumptions”.

One was about INFLATION. Let’s just say it was LOW.

He didn’t care. Inflation WAS low.

Retiring was a long way away.

Fortunately, 12 years ago, he did a bit of maths.

The question was really simple. What happens to his pension if we get inflation?

He crunched a few numbers (He can be a bit of a nerd).

Now it gets depressing…..

If you assume an inflation rate of 8% over the next 10 years - The present value factor is 0.463

Let’s say your pension pot is worth £1,000,000.

Bear with me, this is a bit boring. If you multiply that pot by the present value factor, that means if we get 8% inflation for 10 years, in today’s money, it’s worth about £463,000

Scary eh!

It gets worse.

If you apply an annuity rate of 4.5% that gives you an income of less than £21,000 a year - I assumed I'd retire at 60.

When he would crunched the numbers annuity rates were A LOT HIGHER. But it still didn’t look very good.

He just stared at the screen - Unbelievable.

Back to TODAY. Things have got a lot worse.

£21,000 a year…..seriously? What about AFTER 10 years? He is hoping to live longer than that!

He did this simple math in my early 40s.

He had a choice. Do nothing or something.

He chose SOMETHING.

He packed his well-paid job (he was raking in well over £100,000 a year) and started researching commodities. He was convinced they were the future. People thought he was mad.

Come to think of it. That does sound a little bonkers.
 
His investments went well.
 
Simon was asked to write a Newsletter for Moneyweek called Metals & Miners. Following this, he was asked to work with Jim Rickards on Gold Speculator, a Newsletter run by Agora Financial.
 
This was great, but he was still worried about inflation

What about inflation? He told people - they didn’t listen. They do NOW.

8% inflation…..are you crazy? It was then running at less than 2%.

No one believed him.

At the time of writing, it’s over 10% and it could get WORSE. A lot WORSE…..please do something….or you’ll ALWAYS be scared of that heating bill and not being able to afford the food you want. I’m sure you NEVER want to worry about those kinds of things.
 
This is why Simon wrote my book. He has learned a lot and wanted to share it with YOU.

There are also a couple of free bonuses that I’m sure you’ll find useful.
