What if the technology you rely on daily was suddenly stripped away? Louis O’Connor, founder and principal of Strategic Metals Invest, reveals the surprising significance of an unseen element we take for granted: rare earth metals. These 17 strategic metals, essential to our tech-dependent lifestyles, underline the creation of smartphones, electric cars, solar power systems, and even permanent magnets.

Louis unpacks the complexities and lack of transparency that shroud this asset class. As the conversation evolves, uncover how the US Department of Defense's requirements, the advancements in solar power, and the burgeoning potential of wearable medical devices are intricately tied to these metals.

Find out how these obscure elements have risen to prominence and are now accessible to private investors.
