Commodities: the building blocks of the economy

Video cover

Commodities: they’re the raw materials we rely on in our daily lives. They are our food, our fuel and our building materials. Some have been traded for millennia – and on exchanges for more than a century. Yet they remain the least well understood of all major asset classes. But despite the enigma they present, investors are drawn to commodities for the distinct role they can play in different economic regimes, such as being a source of diversification during periods of recession or acting as a hedge against inflation.

Mitigating different economic environments requires investors to take a holistic approach to asset allocation. Prior to the advent of commodity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded commodities (ETCs), commodities were a challenging asset class for many investors to access. Today, ETFs and ETCs are a convenient tool for strategic and long-term allocations to commodities, but also for expressing short-term tactical views, allowing all investors to experience the potential benefits of this asset class.
