Strategic Investment

Gold is a clear complement to stocks, bonds and alternative assets for well-balanced US investor portfolios. As a store of wealth and a multi-faceted  hedge, gold has outperformed many major asset classes while providing robust performance in both rising and falling markets.

Gold benefits from diverse sources of demand: as an investment, a reserve asset, a luxury good and a technology component. It is highly liquid, no one’s liability, carries no credit risk, and is scarce, historically preserving its value over time.

Our analysis illustrates that adding between 2% and 10% in gold to a hypothetical US pension fund average portfolio over the past decade would have resulted in higher risk-adjusted returns.

The World Gold Council and its members recognise that climate change imposes very substantial risks to the global economy and socio-economic development.
