Now On Demand Like a planet-killing asteroid in the movie “Don’t Look Up!”, inflation is here and no longer transitory – avoiding the problem will not make it go away. Commodities, including gold and copper, offer helpful portfolio diversification should inflation remain persistent and higher than many of us thought possible just one year ago. We review macro-economic data to better understand the recent inflation spike that’s driven U.S. CPI over 7%, and how traditional stock and bond investments compare to commodities during periods of rising inflation. |

Commodity trading is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Commodities and futures generally are volatile and are not suitable for all investors. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment. Investing in commodity interests subject each Fund to the risks of its related industry. These risks could result in large fluctuations in the price of a particular Fund’s respective shares. Funds that focus on a single sector generally experience greater volatility.
