Gold is a great way to diversify anyone’s asset selection and is viewed by many as the ultimate insurance for your portfolio.
Its rather lustrous nature and value doesn’t move and rise with most other assets making it unique.
How much Gold should you own?
We advise an allocation of 5%-10% portfolio allocation to gold and certainly it would be good to ideally hold physical gold.
When more risky assets fail such as equities and even property gold has consistently shone as the hero asset, preserving your wealth and protecting your assets.
