Commodities are a distinct asset class with returns that are largely independent of stock and bond returns. Adding broad commodity exposure can help diversify a portfolio of stocks and bonds, potentially lowering the risk of an overall portfolio and boosting returns. Given their impact on consumer goods prices, commodities can also offer a hedge against inflation. Commodities include agricultural products (such as wheat and cattle), energy products (such as oil and natural gas), and metals (such as gold, silver and aluminum). There are also commodities that cannot be stored for long period of time (which includes; sugar, cotton, cocoa and coffee).
