Gold's Role in Building a Diverse Portfolio
Asset diversity and risk management are two hallmarks of most successful investment portfolios. History has shown that financial crises, from America's Great Depression to the dotcom bubble bursting, can and do strike. When they do, having a balanced and diverse portfolio can protect you from suffering through your own financial crisis.
Relying on just one or two markets or investment vehicles exposes you to financial risk if your assets turn south. A sound investment portfolio contains a wide range of asset types and risk levels.
There are three ways to improve the diversity of your portfolio: holding a diverse array of assets, penetrating foreign markets and purchasing assets that have varying levels of investment risk.
Asset Diversity
Owning a wide range of assets insulates you from the risk of your entire investment portfolio sinking with one or two bad assets. Distributing your money across a variety of investments - such as annuities, physical gold holdings, gold futures and stocks - provides an ideal balance of risk exposure and security.
Market Diversity
Investing in multiple world markets adds another layer of diversity to your portfolio. It makes little sense to diversify your assets if they are still held within a single country. Doing so pegs your portfolio to that country's financial well-being. In today's volatile global economy, that could spell disaster for your life savings. Investing in The Swiss Gold Annuity™ is a safe and sensible way to branch out into international markets.
Risk Diversity
No investment portfolio should be entirely composed of assets with similar risk. A balance of low- and high-risk assets allows you to take chances on volatile investments like stocks without jeopardizing your entire nest egg. Low-risk assets like annuities and physical gold holdings function as excellent hedges against more speculative investment vehicles like stocks or gold futures.
Many financial theorists and practitioners recommend allocating between 10 and 15 percent of your funds toward gold-related investments and holdings. Please note that The Swiss Gold Annuity™ allows you to place any type of gold investment within your policy. For a more detailed explanation of the various investment options, please refer to our page on Gold Investment Options.
