Summary

While real estate is our specialty, we also appreciate the value of looking beyond it to create a well-rounded portfolio. Every now and then, another asset class catches our eye. Today, we're talking about one that's starting to draw attention from real estate investors—and for good reason. Tangible, essential, and in global demand, these materials power everything from electronics and renewable energy to electric vehicles and advanced technologies. In this episode, Robert Helms sits down with John Waldheim and Louis O'Connor to discuss rare earths and technology metals. Tune in to learn about their global demand and applications, how these strategic metals can complement a real estate-focused portfolio, and how everyday investors can gain access to them.
