Investor Daily, by Rhea Nath

"With the benefit of stable income alongside capital growth, dairy farming remains a "solid" investment to feed a growing Australian population, according to Prime Value Asset Management."

Interest in the role alternatives play in a portfolio has mounted in recent years as investors witnessed traditional assets put to the test against geopolitical risks, rising inflation, and the end of the zero-interest-rate policy era.
