Investing in commodities means investing in the raw materials of the Earth. 

Commodities can refer to materials that are consumed directly such as food, natural resources, agriculture, oil, gas,  and precious metals like gold, silver & platinum. 

Investing in a commodity is like no other investment. Commodities are often diversified and aren’t easily affected by other investment opportunities. One of the reasons commodity investment is so popular with investors is that they can help you better manage market volatility.  
 
Commodities are sometimes referred to as the ‘fifth asset class’ after cash, bonds, shares, and property. 
 
Gold as a commodity is becoming more mainstream.  
 
Since 2001, investment demand for gold worldwide has grown, on average, 15% per year. This has been driven in part by the advent of new ways to access the market, such as physical gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), but also by the expansion of the middle class in Asia and a renewed focus on effective risk management following the 2008–2009 financial crisis in Eurpope and the U.S. 
 
Today, gold is more relevant than ever for investors. While central banks in developed markets are moving to normalise monetary policies – leading to higher interest rates. 
 
Gold can play four fundamental roles in a portfolio: 
 
a source of long-term returns 
a diversifier that can mitigate losses in times of market stress 
a liquid asset with no credit risk that has outperformed fiat currencies 
a means to enhance overall portfolio performance. 
 
Gold is not only useful in periods of higher uncertainty. Its price has increased by an average of 10% per year since 1971 when gold began to be freely traded following the collapse of Bretton Woods. Gold’s long-term returns have been comparable to stocks and higher than bonds or commodities. Source: World Gold Council.  
 
''Over the past century, gold has greatly outperformed all major currencies as a means of exchange. This includes instances when major economies defaulted, sending their currencies spiraling down, as well as after the end of the Gold Standard.''
