In an attempt to add to return and increase diversification, institutional investors made new commitments to commodities totaling $35 billion in 2005, with a similar or greater amount expected for 2006. With the knowledge that historical returns have outpaced equity results – are commodities an appropriate investment for pension plans?

On September 12, Watson Wyatt hosted a web conference, “Implementing Commodity Strategies” to discuss how commodities can work for your pension plan.

The presentation examined what kinds of characteristics should be anticipated from an allocation to commodities, and what levels of return should be expected.
