Maybe It’s Time for a Boring Investment

With both stocks and bonds down and still falling, it may be time to investigate an asset that’s a little less…eventful.

Over the past 20 years, the NCREIF Farmland Index has outperformed the S&P 500 with less volatility.¹

Research from Nuveen, the $1.3 trillion investment manager of TIAA, has shown that adding 2-5% of a portfolio to farmland and/or timberland can improve a portfolio’s overall returns and at the same time reduce risk.²

AcreTrader makes it simple to invest in professionally reviewed farmland online and seek passive income.

In the past couple of months they’ve reported on their first four fully realized deal cycles, and now have offerings hitting the platform each week.

And they added timber offerings to the platform earlier this year.

Beer discusses managed futures replication, ETFs and how ETFs have helped investors access sophisticated strategies at a lower cost, and how Beer has been able to gain traction among the advisor community.

From The Episode:
“Commodities often drive returns during an equity crisis. It’s the most consistent sector. Is [adding commodities] something you have thought about? Many advisors are including managed futures for that particular reason.”
