Summary/Abstract: The paper poses the following research question: Can palladium be part of a stock portfolio to diversify, hedge, reduce risk, or increase return? If so, which of the above can be applied? Since the paper is part of the broader research on various possibilities of retirement investments, the analysis is conducted in the long run. It aims to show that not only gold or silver can be helpful in retirement portfolio management but also less appreciated kinds of precious metals like palladium. Usually, scientific papers are devoted to one of the two most popular metals, i.e., gold or silver, and the authors treat others concisely. The strength of this paper is that palladium is studied in detail and not just as one of many precious metals. As a result, the paper gives a new insight into long-term investments.
