LONDON, 21 October 2015 – Analysis from BullionVault today leads an article about gold's value in diversifying investment risk in the Daily Mail – the UK's best-selling mid-market newspaper.
"Figures from BullionVault show that a saver with 10% of their cash in gold and the rest split between equities and bonds will miss out on the big peaks in the market when times are good," the Mail explains.
"But the investor with the gold would fare better in bad years," it goes on, showing BullionVault's finding that in 2008 – the worst single year for UK asset returns of the last four decades – investors spreading their equity and bond risk with a 10% allocation to gold would have almost halved the total loss on their portfolio.
"The dilemma," says the Mail's report, "is whether it is worth missing out in the good years to have the reassurance that you'll limit how much you lose in a bad year."
