Commodities in your portfolio
Commodities – energy and metals – often move differently from stocks and bonds, which is why some investors add a small slice for diversification.

What to keep in mind
- Commodities pay no dividend or interest – return is price only.
- They can be volatile and go nowhere for years; keep any allocation small.
- They can help against inflation in some periods – see also gold.
