2026 looks like a reasonable moment to tilt the stock part of a diversified portfolio toward companies linked to real assets: energy producers, commodity‑related businesses (oil and gas, copper and other industrial metals), and certain infrastructure and real‑asset stocks. Several major market outlooks point to a mix of high public debt, persistent inflation risks, and huge investment needs for the energy transition, a combination that can support commodities and sectors tied to them over time.
In past periods of higher inflation or supply shocks, stock allocations biased toward commodity producers and energy companies have often held up better than long‑duration growth names, because they can pass higher prices into revenues and profits more easily. The broader idea is that after many years dominated by cheap money and a narrow group of growth and tech winners, markets may be starting to give more value to businesses whose worth is anchored in real production capacity—barrels pumped, tonnes mined, megawatt‑hours generated—rather than in stories alone.
SimplyNoRisk is reflecting this view by gradually steering new stock investments toward companies backed by tangible assets and solid cash flows, while keeping overall diversification and a comfortable cash buffer to manage uncertainty.
