Where We Invest

Omega Trading operates within three key asset classes and, naturally, we see it as our duty to remain apprised of every possible development therein.

Equities

The obviously negative effects of the precipitous fall in equity values following the collapse of Lehman Brothers aside, Omega Trading firmly believes that the small investor has been given a chance to take part in what could conceivably be the most profound transfer of wealth from the powerful institutions to the small investors in a generation.

Over-priced equities have returned to earth at levels that make them accessible to the small investor. Despite the seemingly endless flow of bad economic news, the inevitable recovery will undoubtedly see share values rise again, securing tangible and significant profits for those prepared to grasp the nettle. Although the recovery will not be a swift as many would seem to be predicting, it has the added benefit of suiting the long-term investment model perfectly.

Commodities

Omega Trading has no doubt whatsoever that the insatiable appetite of the emerging economies for raw materials will persist unabated for the foreseeable future. The fundamental transference of wealth from developed to developing nations means that the emerging markets will continue to forge infrastructure capable of supporting their newly found status as the future drivers of global growth.

Essential raw materials including iron, oil, copper and even water are poised to rise in price as nearly three-fifths of the world’s population slowly but surely acquire middle-class status and begin to compete seriously with developed nations for them.

Investment demand for gold and other precious metals continue to outstrip the ability of producers to extract them from the ground. Hard assets are set to cement their status as a hedge against the developed world’s efforts to breathe life into their economies.
