# Why are RWAs Needed?

1. **Diversification**: RWAs provide important diversification benefits to investment portfolios. By including assets like real estate, commodities, and infrastructure, investors can reduce overall volatility and risk compared to portfolios.
2. **Inflation Hedge**: Many RWAs, such as gold and real estate, are considered effective hedges against inflation. Their values tend to increase or remain stable when the purchasing power of currency declines, preserving the real value of an investor’s capital.
3. **Stable Returns**: Certain RWAs, like rental properties or infrastructure projects, can generate stable and predictable cash flows, making them attractive during periods of market uncertainty or low interest rates.
4. **Accessibility and Inclusion**: Tokenisation of RWAs can enhance accessibility, allowing smaller investors to participate in markets previously dominated by larger institutional players. This can democratise access to wealth-building opportunities.

By integrating RWAs into broader financial and investment strategies, individuals and institutions can achieve more balanced, resilient, and comprehensive portfolios.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rebel-protocol.gitbook.io/rebel-protocol-whitepaper/undefined-2/why-are-rwas-needed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
