Abstract: Executive Summary. In the past twenty years there has been a significant shift in personal investment as baby boomers start preparing for retirement. Mutual funds have become the choice investment vehicles because they are very easy for individuals to manage. Diversification allows investors to achieve broad-based exposure through various types of investment vehicles. Asset allocation has become very important as a means of achieving good financial performance in an investment portfolio. Choosing the right mix of geographic, industry and sector, and asset types is of key importance in achieving the targeted financial performance over an investment horizon, Real estate represents a significant percentage of world asset value and has been an important component of investment portfolios. This paper examines whether investors can improve their portfolios by adding farmland to the mix.
