Title: Diversify a Portfolio with Tangible Commodities
Abstract: Tangible commodities represent an asset class separate from stocks and bonds. Historical returns of a diversified portfolio of commodities are as high as those of equities and are not correlated with them. Thus, the inclusion of a modest allocation of commodities to a typical stock and bond portfolio provides a diversification benefit, reducing the overall risk of that portfolio without reducing the returns. The most efficient way to get consistent exposure to commodities for diversification is by an investment in a long-only commodity fund.
