Braden and Simon sit down with Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck, for a wide-ranging conversation on where capital should be going over the next decade. Jan explains why he sees gold re-emerging as a global reserve asset, how central bank and emerging-market demand could fuel a long bull market, and why a 20% drawdown wouldn’t change his thesis. They dig into the AI build-out and the semiconductor cycle through SMH and Nvidia’s eye-popping margins, the risks and opportunities around OpenAI and infrastructure constraints, and how private credit stress may show up first in publicly traded BDCs. Jan also makes the long-term case for India as a distinct structural growth story within emerging markets, and the trio wrap up by talking about how AI and structured data will change investment research.
