The smart investor has always considered gold to be an integral part of a well-balanced portfolio.
This is because of it’s role as a diversifier, due to it’s low correlation to most other asset classes. Gold is the ultimate wealth preservation tool; considered not only a hedge against inflation but it also acts as a currency hedge, in particular against the dollar.
As a strategic asset, gold has historically improved the risk-adjusted returns of portfolios, providing returns while reducing losses and providing liquidity to meet liabilities in times of market stress.
