佐治索羅斯買金,儘管在它/終極泡沫' 上塗油
Mr Soros – a legend in investing circles for his $10bn (£6.37bn) bet against the pound in 1992 which forced sterling out of the European exchange rate mechanism – increased his stake in the SPDR Gold Trust in the last quarter of 2009.
Regulatory filings show that his $8.8bn investment vehicle, Soros Fund Management, raised its stake in exchange-traded fund SPDR by 3.7m shares to 6.2m shares in the three months ending December 31, 2009.
監管文件顯示,他的$ 8.8bn的投資工具索羅斯基金管理公司,提高其在交易所所持股份- 買賣SPDR基金由370萬股至620萬股,在3個月截至2009年12月31日終結。
The new shares were bought at a price of $421m, taking his total holding in the fund to $663m at the end of December.
新股票的買入代價為4.21億美元,帶他在該基金的12月底總持有至6.63億美元。
In addition, Mr Soros's investment vehicle owns 11,000 call options that will permit it to buy an extra 1.1m shares should gold prices move higher.
此外,索羅斯的投資工具擁有 11,000看漲期權,如果黃金價格走高,容許它購買額外的110萬股份。
Soros Fund Management also increased its stake in Canadian-based gold producer Yamana Gold, buying 60,880 shares to take its total position to 85,880 shares, worth $973,314 at the end of December.
索羅斯基金管理公司亦增持以加拿大為基地的黃金生產商亞馬納黃金的股份,購買股票60.880般,帶它的總持倉至 85,880股,在12月底價值九十七萬三千三百十四美元。
However, the actions of the Mr Soros's investment fund however seem to be at odds with his own viewpoint. During the World Economic Forum in Davos in late January, Mr Soros said: "When interest rates are low we have conditions for asset bubbles to develop, and they are developing at the moment. The ultimate asset bubble is gold."
但是,索羅斯先生的投資基金行動似乎和自己的觀點不一致,在1月下旬達沃斯的世界經濟論壇 索羅斯先生說:“當利率低是低時,我們有條件讓資產泡沫去發展,和他們目前是正在發展,終極的資產泡沫是黃金。”
Gold hit a new high of just over $1,225 an ounce in December, having rise 40pc in the prior 12 months, and touched an all-time high in euros of €818 an ounce earlier this week. On Wednesday, gold was trading in New York at $1,115.55 an ounce, having hit a one-month high of $1,126.85 earlier in the day.
Mr Soros is not alone in increasing his stake in the SPDR, with new filings also showing that China Investment Corporation (CIC), Beijing's main overseas investment fund, taking a 0.4pc stake in the fund worth $155.6m.
CIC's investment is equivalent to just 0.4pc of the 33.9m ounces of gold maintained by the Chinese government, but is part of a growing trend of major funds investing in the metal.
The World Gold Council said on Wednesday that pension funds began actively investing in gold last year, viewing the metal as a long-term safe haven.
Aram Shishmanian, the council's chief executive, told Reuters that although the organisation does not forecast prices, he believes the gold market will be "robust' in 2010 in spite of an 11pc global drop in demand last year because of weaker industrial output.
