What are some benefits of investing in commodities?

  • Protect portfolios against inflation

    When inflation rises, the prices of goods and services increase. Since commodities are the building blocks of those goods and services, their prices tend to go up as well, making commodities one of the few asset classes that benefit from inflation.

  • 分散投資組合風險較低

    Commodity performance is generally based on current supply and demand dynamics. As commodity prices are tied to supply and demand, the more a commodity is in demand and the lower the supply, the higher its price will be. Commodities' historically low correlation to the prices of stocks and bonds makes them a valuable source of diversification within a portfolio.

  • Potential to increase risk adjusted returns

    Realize the potential benefits of adding commodities to a balanced portfolio, which can improve a portfolio's risk-adjusted performance through a low to negative correlation to traditional investments like fixed income and equities.

  • 資產分配精選

    Investing in commodity funds can be a smart tool for portfolio diversification and inflation protection. Commodities have historically moved independently of equity and fixed income markets and, as such, can play an important role in portfolio construction.

Commodities Spotlight Video

 

In this TDAM Asset Allocation Spotlight video, Hussein Allidina, Managing Director, Head of Commodities, TD Asset Management (TDAM), chats with Peter Verbaken, Head of Commodities at APG Asset Management to discuss the role of commodity investments within a diversified portfolio.

TDAM draws upon years of experience in successfully managing commodities and alternative strategies for large pension plan managers in Canada (with the largest allocation to commodities across pension plans managed by TDAM), bringing the rigour and sophistication of institutional money management to retail investors.

Using the deep expertise of one of Canada’s largest pension plan money managers3, each portfolio is carefully designed by TDAM to optimize asset allocation and diversification to help investors get more upside while limiting the downside.

Many of the largest Pension funds include a commodities allocation in their portfolios, including the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP)4. OTPP looks to commodities to help hedge against inflation with investments in commodities leading the list of inflation sensitive assets, accounting for 10% of the asset mix in 20224.
