Commodities are an essential part of everyday life and can be significantly affected by supply/demand imbalances, natural disasters, or market dislocations. These situations provide opportunities for sophisticated investors with an appetite for risk. Commodity Investing offers true diversification and may also increase returns to a typical portfolio by participating in markets that are lowly correlated to stocks and bonds.
Broad Diversification
Global Commodity Markets are easy to access and offer broad diversification to a traditional investment portfolio. A portfolio with assets that don’t move in lockstep can help you better manage market volatility.
Potential Returns
Commodity prices can fluctuate due to factors such as supply and demand, exchange rates, inflation, and the overall health of the economy. In recent years, increased demand due to massive global infrastructure projects has greatly influenced commodity prices.
Potential Hedge Against Inflation
Inflation, which can erode the value of stocks and bonds over time can often mean higher prices for commodities. Investing in commodities directly can provide a hedge to these rising prices. While commodities have shown strong performance during periods of high inflation, investors should note that commodities can be much more volatile than other types of investments.
