All investors should be aware of the importance of ensuring portfolios are adequately diversified relative to remit, especially as financial goals approach. I have previously written about ‘alternative’ assets such as renewable energy, infrastructure, commodities, bonds and commercial property, which assist in this endeavour.
In addition to these assets, those portfolios seeking diversification have also been increasing exposure to precious metals, specifically silver, as markets continue to climb the wall of worry and investors are focused on equities – not ‘defensive’ assets, which themselves can also be good investments over time.
