Investors at the very low or very high end of risk spectrum would not include FMF in their portfolios, Financial gains from a FMF result from low level risk with an expected yield that is greater than bonds and low correlation with other financial asset returns. Non-farm families gained from improvements to their pension and non-pension investment portfolios. Farm families gained from having more external non-farm equity entering the agricultural industry.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/190690}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.190690}, }
