One of the world ’ s great commodities , greater than gold or copper , is knowledge . In the cyclical mining sector , understanding how , why and in what way a market is fluctuating is crucial – as is understanding why something is not changing or responding . “ Historically speaking , there hasn ’ t been sufficient information to adequately describe the platinum market ,” says Paul Wilson , Chief Executive Officer of the World Platinum Investment Council .
“ The information out there just wasn ’ t comprehensive enough and what we strive to do is lead with research , and data , to provide an objective understanding of the market through our quarterly reports and notes .”
“ We ’ ve since established ourselves as a global market authority on platinum investment . What ’ s going on in the platinum space ? What does the supply and demand look like today and tomorrow ?” The World Platinum Investment Council was formed in 2014 by the world ’ s six leading platinum producers - currently Anglo American Platinum , Impala Platinum , Lonmin , Northam Platinum , Royal Bafokeng Platinum and Sibanye-
“ OUR MISSION REALLY , IS TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT MAKES PLATINUM AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT ASSET AND INCREASE THE ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT IN PHYSICAL PLATINUM WORLDWIDE ”
