And there are periods in time, and I sort of would go back to mid 1970s to early 1980s, as an example of periods in time where gold does very, very well.

It returned thousands of percent over that period in time, while bonds and shares both did poorly.

And I'm not saying that's definitely going to happen in the future, but I think anyone investing

should be humble enough to recognize that there are all sorts of different scenarios out there that can happen.

And you want to be comfortable that your portfolio can withstand those different scenarios.

Yeah, gold in my mind is an insurance policy.

It's insuring against all those scenarios.

You've got your fingers crossed hoping they don't happen.

And maybe you're even predicting they won't happen, but just accepting that it's a possibility is the reason why gold is something that you should have in there.

Yeah, high growth portfolio as well.

So, yeah, our allocation is consistent across the different asset classes.

And actually, you know, the modeling we use suggests that it could even be higher than that.

Gold provides such a good, you know, improvement in the quality of returns in a portfolio that, yeah, I think it's easily justifiable.

to me it's actually good to see that very few asset allocators have actually made this decision because you know something that always worries me in markets is when everyone's done the same thing that always makes me think maybe i've got it wrong maybe um you know maybe everyone already thinks this but

you know in the world there's um you know hundreds of trillions of dollars in basically government debt um and only about i think it's um eight or ten trillion dollars in gold so gold relative to everything else out there is still quite small most most asset allocators and investors don't have much of an allocation um katie mentioned your super fund i mean there are some super funds in australia that have a very tiny allocation to gold but generally it's like one or two percent um

I could certainly see a world over a period of time, and I'm not sure when it will happen, but where asset allocators are basically forced to increase that allocation.

And it wouldn't surprise me if that followed a period of inflation where bonds didn't provide the returns or the protection that people expected.

there's lots of different options so one is um cake buying lots more necklaces you can go to the jewelry store and continue to ramp up your supplies suit the family budget but um yeah i mean you can buy physical gold and i think in some countries like india and china it's quite popular to buy gold through jewelry um you know less popular in australia you can also buy it through coins and

And, you know, there's a few coin stores.

There's one across the road from us in Sydney that sells beautiful, you know, coins from the mint or from other mints around the world.
