A clear and balanced diversification strategy
To invest successfully you need to have a macro-level understanding of the global economy, as well as a clear long-term vision. This applies regardless of the scale on which you invest and is true for both for individuals and institutional investors.
Two of the most common investment goals are the preservation of long-term asset values and the generation of capital growth.
The average portfolio is invested primarily in traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, and property. While these classes of investment offer a good potential for capital growth, they carry a greater degree of risk that the long-term asset value will not be preserved.
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.
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 invested in gold for long term preservation and growth.
