Deploy Alternatives and Commodities to Ward Off Inflation March 1, 2021 In what feels like a heartbeat, inflation expectations changed to the upside – a scenario that spotlights advantages in alternative investments and commodities. Advisors looking to allocate to those asset classes can consider model portfolios, including WisdomTree’s series of Endowment Model Portfolios. “By thoughtfully integrating equities, bonds and alternative investments, WisdomTree has created variations of each model with differing risk profiles. WisdomTree’s bespoke approach seeks to ensure that there is a model portfolio for a range of investors, from the conservative to the aggressive,” according to the issuer. The issuer has created options for investors with varying risk tolerances. WisdomTree offers five levels of risk tolerance in this model portfolio series – conservative, moderately conservative, moderate, moderately aggressive, and aggressive. The moderately aggressive version of this model portfolio allocates 20% of its lineup to alternatives, including commodities.
