Details

Investments in real assets have continued to increase over the past few year and the trend is predicted to continue as investors look to diversify their portfolios as inflation heats up and markets continue to be volatile. With trade wars and the 2020 US elections, this could be the best time to look at the potential for real assets investments outside the US. But investors are looking for returns with minimal risks.
