Deep dives

The importance of owning gold as a hedge against financial uncertainty

Gold has historically served as a hedge against financial uncertainty and inflation. It climbed sharply in price during the 1970s when there were high inflation rates, economic problems, and geopolitical issues. Owning gold can provide a counterbalance to other assets during times of financial crisis and can protect against the loss of purchasing power caused by the continuous increase in the money supply. It is recommended to have 6-8% of net assets in precious metals like gold and silver to have a significant edge against financial uncertainty while still diversifying in other investment segments.
