A clear and balanced diversification strategy
Successful investing today requires an understanding of the big picture with a clear long-term vision, both for individuals as well as institutional investors.
Maintaining long-term value and capital growth are the two most common investment goals. The average portfolio is invested primarily in traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, and property.
Adding tangible assets in physical gold to a portfolio increases the degree of diversification by introducing an entirely different asset class, providing greater protection from market risk. This protects the total portfolio against fluctuations in the value of any one type of asset.
For example, while U.S. large-cap stocks and international stocks move in the same direction a substantial percentage of the time, hard assets such as gold bullion tend to move in the opposite direction providing a more balanced portfolio.
More investors than ever before are adding gold to their investment portfolios as a diversification strategy due to the fragile nature of paper investments and currencies.
The expert consensus is that 5% - 30% of your total portfolio should be in gold for long term preservation and growth.
