The Role of Gold Investments in a Diversified Portfolio
27 Feb 2025

How Gold Can Be Useful For Portfolio Diversification
Gold prices have been on a steady upward trend in recent months, reaching new highs with minimal pullbacks. As a favored safe-haven asset, it continues to draw interest from investment firms, central banks, and retail investors. Since the start of 2025, gold has consistently set new records, posting a year-to-date gain of around 13% in India (World Gold Council, as of February 7, 2025).
Why Gold Prices Are Rising?
Global trade policies Inflation Hedge Geopolitical tensions, Fluctuating interest rates
Gold Performance Over FY2000-FY2024
It is prudent to diversify a portion of assets (10-15%) in gold for a balanced asset allocation. Gold can be a great investment for investors for its many benefits, portfolio diversification and counterweight to inflation and market uncertainties.
