The comfort of commodity risk
Article Abstract:
Pension funds consultant Frank Russell is recommending commodity futures as a good investment for pension funds. Russell states that commodities benefit from inflation and are traded daily, unlike real property. Returns were good in the 1970's when there was a bull market, but Russell's advice is not likely to be considered sound.
