Schroder AS* Commodity Fund
Unearth powerful investments
Globally, the value of commodities in the three broad groups of agriculture, energy and metals is huge. Commodities represent a major asset class, alongside equities, bonds, property and cash, offering enormous opportunities and potential for growth. Yet today, very few individual investors’ portfolios have any exposure to them. At Schroders, we’re convinced that for many investors, that represents a missed opportunity and one which our commodity fund is designed to address.
