Real assets like commodities, farmland, timberland, and infrastructure are often discussed for their ability to manage inflation risk. Some hedge short-term inflation spikes, while others yield positive real returns over time. They enhance portfolios by offering attractive returns in scenarios detrimental to financialised assets like stocks and bonds, due to their inherent scarcity. For example, timber growth is limited, farmland is finite, and oil extraction requires unique skills. In contrast, financialised assets can be produced quickly and cheaply. Asset prices result from supply and demand interplay, and while supply dynamics differ between real and financialised assets, demand is driven by economic growth. Investors can leverage real assets to focus on long-term growth drivers, such as infrastructure, land, and commodities needed for AI growth. The value of real assets is driven by idiosyncratic risk factors and supply limitations, enabling them to retain their diversification benefits in a post-moderation world.
