Variety and potential for your portfolio

Investing in commodities can be beneficial due to additional stability & protection against inflation.

Commodity prices are usually little connected to the development of the stock market and can thus contribute to the diversification of the portfolio. Furthermore, commodities have historically often acted as a hedge against inflation, when the price level rises. The chart shows how commodities and equities have performed in the four major inflation outbreaks of the last 150 years.
