For those who are with Endowus, may i know if they have commodities within their portfolio?

Just wanted to check, for those who are investing via EndowUS, are there any allocation to commodities?

Hi,

We specifcally do not hold commodities as an asset class because we believe in a static asset allocation strategy (holding on to the same ratio of asset class), and over the long run holding on to a commodities portfolio does not perform a reasonable risk-adjusted return.

Some other advisors which believe in a more active/trading approach may use commidities to optimise returns, but it ultimately depends on the skill/luck of the advisors to buy/sell commodities to get higher returns.

Hope this helps!

Commodities are among the worst investments for quite some time now

Hi Anon, no they do not. It's a traditional equity/bond split portfolio....
