Simon Hunt joins Small Caps to share his views on the geopolitical situation around the world, including the state of the economy, the US dollar being replaced in trade, the introduction of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), BRICS+ currencies to adopt a commodity backing, the value of gold, interest rate predictions and the rise of BRICS+.

Simon began his career in Central Africa as a PA to the chairman of Rhodesian Selection Trust, one of the two large companies in the then Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia. The copper group was Anglo American.

In 1961, he returned to the UK joining Anglo American Corporation of South Africa as a PA to a board director which included being part of a small copper sales and marketing team.

He then helped to establish a new copper development organisation, CIDEC, financed by copper producers where he focused on conducting end use studies in Europe.

He then went to London City to gain financial experience followed by forming Brook Hunt & Associates in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the group’s cost studies which have become a bible for the industry and end use analyses.

He acted for the US copper producers in two ITC anti-dumping cases as both consultant and material witness in 1978 and 1984 winning both at the commission level.

Since 1993, he has spent 2-4 months every year in China visiting some 80 factories across the country every year.

In 1996, Simon founded Simon Hunt Strategic Services. The focus of the company’s work is to provide strategic advice including geopolitical and financial developments as well as structural and tactical changes within China in order to produce a balance outlook for the supply of and demand for copper.

Increasingly the work involves understanding the shifts taking place in the balance of global power including how BRICS+ will change the dynamics of the world and how these changes will impact the copper industry.

He is also on the board of directors the Great Eastern Gold Company in Australia and Copperman in Chile.
