Investing in the raw materials required to create a green future can be a good strategy for diversifying your portfolio towards raw materials, as well as if you do not know which companies will build the best products from the raw material. By owning the raw material directly, or the companies that extract the raw material, you can get a cleaner exposure to a future price increase in the raw material.
