Originální abstrakt

Investments in commodities have grown sharply over the last years. It may be due to an increased fear of inflation, or diversification of investment portfolios. This paper deals with the commodities as an alternative asset class, their historical return performance, volatility, and correlation in comparison with the traditional asset classes – stocks, bonds, and cash. During the reporting period 1998–2012 commodity investments show that there is a considerable difference between the return and volatility characteristics for each class of commodities, and most of them achieved higher returns than cash or equity index.

Klíčová slova

Commodities, traditional assets, return, volatility, correlation.
