Sal Gilberti
The Pioneer
The frontier and an appetite for the unknown, goes first.
Sal Gilberti embodies The Pioneer by doing what no one else had done: building the first pure-play commodity grain ETFs and insisting retail investors deserved access to an asset class long gatekept by futures markets.
“If you've got an asset and you say to somebody, I got this asset that trades at X, and when there's this supply disruption every four to seven years, it goes to two X and then it trades back down to X — repeat, repeat.”
“It's literally impossible for anyone anywhere on planet Earth to not be using corn every single day, directly or indirectly. It's not possible. And people don't understand that it's a vital commodity.”
“Grains have some of the lowest correlation around besides natural gas and sugar. People are saying maybe the stock market's iffy, bond's moving tandem with stocks — what am I looking for that has a lower correlation?”
