AB  - This article examines energy stocks in the context of a diversified investment portfolio.

The author demonstrates that a separate allocation to energy stocks enhances portfolio efficiency and potentially hedges against inflation and inflation surprises.TOPICS: Security analysis and valuation, commodities, performance measurement
