Hard Assets
Home » Hard Assets
Hard assets are those assets that exhibit intrinsic value. They maintain their value irrespective of the extent to which their market prices may decrease. For example, a house will always have a value – irrespective of its current market price in dollars or euros. Investors opt for hard assets as a secure option during periods of unpredictability, market turbulence, and volatility.
At Belgrade Family Office, we believe in the power of hard assets to provide a stable long-term foundation for your financial future. A portion of any portfolio should be invested in hard assets that do not depend on the banking system. Hard assets have the additional benefit that in many countries, there is no obligation to report them to authorities, so nobody need know you have them.
Employing a hard assets investment strategy serves to mitigate risk and hedge against inflation, and black swan events such as pandemics or natural disasters. In contrast to stocks and bonds, which are influenced by factors like company earnings, interest rates, and economic cycles, the worth of hard assets typically derives from their utility and scarcity.
Hard assets frequently exhibit a correlation with inflation, making them a reliable safeguard against escalating prices and ensuring sustained value in terms of “real dollars.” Moreover, hard assets provide returns that are not closely tied to the fluctuations of the stock market.
