1) Why Gold?
1.1 Diversification - Volatility & Returns not tied to market conditions - diff. from financial assets.
(2/16)
1.2 Safe Haven - High value asset, easy to transport! Large value - limited space. Liquid and easy to convert to cash across the world.
1.3 Hedge against inflation and currency depreciation! (Depreciation of Rupee is a major factor behind Gold returns in India)
(3/16)
1.4 Upside in Tail Risk - Confidence in currencies & financial systems is low, gold can see upside in scenarios like this!
1.5 Upside on Demand/Supply - Constant Demand - Supply is stable!
2) Gold - Indian Context - Better returns compared to other asset classes...
(4/16)
... specially in the last 2-3 years. Gold has done well both in low inflation & high inflation returns. So both real (ex. inflation) & nominal returns have been good!
3) How much to Allocate?
3.1 Diversification/Inflation Hedge - 10-20%
3.2 Tail Risk/Safe Haven - 5-20%

On Sunday 21st June, 14 year old Noah Donohoe left his home to meet his friends at Cave Hill Belfast to study for school. #RememberMyNoah💙
He was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and 2 books with his name on them. He also had his mobile phone with him.
On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered 950m inside a storm drain, between access points. This storm drain was accessible through an area completely unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road. https://t.co/bpz3Rmc0wq
"Noah's body was found by specially trained police officers between two drain access points within a section of the tunnel running under the Translink access road," said Mr McCrisken."
Noah's bike was also found near a house, behind a car, in the same area. It had been there for more than 24 hours before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police.
