Commodities
Commodities can help manage unexpected inflation risk and generate returns that tend to be uncorrelated with either stocks or bonds. As such, they have the potential to enhance the risk-adjusted returns of your portfolio.
Investment strategies
As one of the largest commodities index managers, we offer enhanced and actively managed indexed commodity portfolios. Our experience and expertise have allowed us to provide consistent and efficient access to this important asset class.
Our offering includes a range of specific funds, portfolio solutions, and solutions tailored to specific investors’ needs.
Opportunities and risks
Reasons to invest
- Commodities markets and returns are often uncorrelated with other asset classes and provide diversification benefits.
- Commodity investments act as inflation hedge.
- Gold and similar investments are traditional safe havens.
- Credit Suisse provides access to deep expertise and sophisticated solutions in this space.
Potential risks
- Speculative nature of commodities investments. Investing in commodities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. There is no assurance that technical and risk management techniques, as well as the investment decisions made by the investment manager, will not expose investors to risk of significant losses.
- Market-driven risk could negatively affect the value of a particular investment.
- Credit risk may occur if a counterparty defaults or is unable to honor a financial obligation.
- Commodity-linked derivatives may be subject to greater volatility than traditional securities.
