#144 - Al Chu: The Structural Case for Natural Resources

Al Chu argues deglobalization and climate volatility are structurally reshaping commodities into an underowned, high-dispersion asset class ripe for active allocation.

• Dual megatrends: Al Chu argues natural resources are driven by two colliding forces — climate volatility and geopolitical fragmentation/deglobalization — that could define a 10-20 year 'new normal.'
• Energy shift reframed: The commodity world has moved from the "cheapest molecule" (globalization era) to the "greenest molecule" (ESG era) to now the "most secure molecule" (deglobalization era), favoring capital investment in security-focused energy infrastructure.
