<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1585042, member: 41665&quot;]The three main asset groups are equities (stocks), fixed-income (bonds) and cash equivalents (like GICs, CDs, etc.) I&#039;m not sure I agree &#039;Cash&#039; is an asset class - I certainly don&#039;t think it&#039;s &quot;risk-free&quot; anymore.</p><p>Some professionals add &quot;real estate&quot; and &quot;commodities.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&quot;Asset classes&quot; are narrower investment types to me: US SCV, IE MCG, Pt, etc. but that&#039;s not universally accepted opinion either.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think Gold correlates with Sugar, so the &quot;commodity&quot; group is problematic.&nbsp; I see Gold more as an <i>alternative monetary asset</i>, partly &quot;Cash&quot; and part &quot;Commodity.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
