According to OMFIF's Global Public Investor 2024, the average portfolio share held in gold rose to 11% this year from 9% in 2023. This is in line with last year’s survey, which found that 14% of respondents would increase their allocation to gold over a 1-2-year period. Despite a record-high gold price and easing near-term inflation fears, a similar proportion (15%) expects to do the same over the next 12-24 months. If this materialises as it did over the past year, an additional $600bn of reserves would be made up of the precious metal in the coming years.

The Resilience of Gold: Investment Perspectives and Strategies In recent discussions about investment strategies, the resilience of gold as an asset class has emerged as a focal point. Amidst the evolving economic landscape, gold has shown a notable upward trend in value, underlining its role as a stabilizing force during market volatility.

I have often been a fan of Gold as an alternative asset in clients’ portfolios. Of course it depends on the client, their objectives, and the wider portfolio, but often I have seen that not only does it provide an extra layer of diversification, it has also demonstrated to improve risk-adjusted returns over the long term. What I like in particular: - It’s a highly liquid asset that carries no credit risk. - Due to its scarcity, it has historically preserved its value over time. - Unlike other commodities, it also benefits from diverse sources of demand. - Its uncorrelated to equities and bonds adding additional diversification. I would be interested to hear your views on whether and how best to include this asset as part of your overall portfolio construction process. Thank you to Claire Lincoln and the World Gold Council for the great research work you do in this space. #Portfolio construction #Alternative assets #Diversification #Capita
