Investec Roundtable: Strictly invite only

Join Investec, global PGM producers, manufacturers and recyclers of automotive catalysts and AP Ventures to discuss the fundamentals likely to shape the PGM market in the medium to long term.
Palladium and rhodium remain the leading drivers of the PGM basket – how long is their runway? Can platinum and the other minor metals sustain the PGM basket performance in the long term, avoiding the historical boom-bust cycle? Our panellists will help us decode the answers to these questions, focusing on supply/demand fundamentals in the evolving carbon neutrality environment.
