Real Assets Can Help Investors Stay Grounded When Markets Are Uncertain
Markets have been anything but calm in 2025. News of new tariffs in April led to a sharp drop in stocks and wider credit spreads, shaking investor confidence.
While markets eventually bounced back on hopes for rate cuts and easing inflation, the volatility was a reminder of how quickly conditions can change.
That’s why many investors are looking beyond traditional stocks and bonds to real assets like infrastructure, real estate, farmland and timberland.
