Protecting clients' capital is the core of Ruffer's investment approach. 

As the market landscape has evolved, so too have the strategies we use to achieve this objective.

Andrew van Biljon and Lauren French look at historic examples of our protection strategies: what they were and how they were implemented. They also discuss the risks we see in the current market environment and how we're seeking to protect against these.
