For income producing assets (such as Equities and Bonds), an investment gives the right to receive an income stream. Intrinsic Value is a measure of the potential income return, which determines the future opportunity. For non-income producing assets such as Gold, Commodities and Currencies, Intrinsic Value is determined by reference to the World Monetary Base which determines the quality of money.

This gives rise to a discipline that can be used for allocating across and within the four Asset Classes: Equities (including by region, country and sector), Bonds, Currencies and Commodities.
