Commodities were once eschewed by many investors as
too risky for serious consideration. However
institutional investors are increasing allocations
to commodity-related investments in search for alpha
outside of traditional equity markets. This research
paper reviews the key reasons why investing in
commodities provide numerous benefits and
illustrates how institutional investors are
employing commodity-related investments in
portfolios and the implications for those not
currently doing so.
