    ! Food, water, energy and metals are the drivers of industrial, economic and social growth.As the world's population rises and the clamor for higher living standards gets louder, so too

    the struggle for resource access intensifies.

    ! For centuries, the West has controlled much of the resources flow, but now China, India,Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, the Middle East and a host of other nations want their share.

    whether it is water from the Nile, Colorado or the Yarlung-Zangbo-Brahmaputra;

    rice from the Mekong Delta, oil from the Middle East, coal from Africa, gas from Russia,

    rare earths from China, iron ore from the Australian outback, phosphates from Morocco

    uranium from Namibia and Kazakhstan, or shale from North America,

    these resources are in limited supply and valuable.

    ! The world's geopolitics will be shaped by the global race for four strategic resources: food,water, energy and metals.

    ! The scale of demand from China, Latin America and India for food, water, energy andminerals, has already reshaped the global economy. Africa, too, is about to wake updemographically in a way that will surprise the world.

    ! This crisis for mankind and our planet is simultaneously our greatest challenge, as well as aonce in a lifetime investment opportunity for visionary investors.

    ! Institutional investors are now eager for solutions. The timing is ideal, the opportunity isevident and Global Fund Exchange is the right partner 3

    ClosingThoughtsWe are five years into a severe global food crisis that is veryunlikely to go away. It will threaten poor countries with increased

    malnutrition and starvation and even collapse. Resource

    squabbles and waves of food-induced migration will threatenglobal stability and global growth. This threat is badly underestimated by almost everybody and allinstitutions with the possible exception of some military

    establishments Jeremy Grantham co-founder of GMOWe are intensely concerned that global money managers arewoefully unprepared for peak oil and largely oblivious to theamount of time, capital and effort it will take to mitigate the

    problem. 13D Research, IncA catastrophic water shortage could prove an even bigger threatto mankind this century than soaring food prices and therelentless exhaustion of energy reserves, according to a panel of

    global experts at the Goldman Sachs "Top Five Risks" conference.Climate change ranks as the preeminent danger to modernhuman civilization today. The evidence for significant warmingsince the Industrial Revolution is now irrefutable and undeniable. Nick PerryThirty percent of the world's arable land will be unusable by 2020due to excessive salt in the soil. Fifty percent may be unusable by

    2050. Woodley B Preucil

    "I don't mind if China has civil war, epidemics, panics, depressions,

    all of that. You can recover from that. The only thing you cannotrecover from is water, if China doesn't solve its water problems

    than there's no China story. They're spending large amounts ofmoney to solve this problem. Jim RogersThe World Bank reports that 80 countries now have watershortages and 2 billion people lack access to clean water. More

    disturbingly, the World Health Organization has reported that 1billion people lack enough water to simply meet their basicneeds. Arlington InstituteIf current water consumption trends continue, by 2025 the

    agricultural sector will experience serious water shortages. Croplosses due to water scarcity could be as high as 350 millionmetric tons per year, slightly more than the entire crop yield of

    the U.S. This massive water crisis will be caused by water contamination,diverting water for industrial purposes, and the depletion ofaquifers.Climate change may also play a part. Additionally, manyaquifers are contaminated each year by pollution and seawater

    nutritional needs over the next four decades.
