LONDON, 14 December 2015 – Research from BullionVault today "underlines" the value of gold in private investor portfolios in a report from UK personal finance magazine Money Observer.
Quoting BullionVault's analysis of historic returns delivered by a portfolio of UK equities, government bonds and gold, "a portfolio with 10% in gold returned an average of 13.7% per year compared to 14.2% per year for a portfolio with no gold," the magazine says.
"However, Bullion Vault also found that a portfolio with 10% in gold lost 7.4% in the worst one-year period (2008), compared to a loss of 13.4% for a portfolio with no gold."
Money Observer, one of the UK's best-selling personal finance titles, also quotes BullionVault's analysis of all 5-year periods over the last four decades, plus the online exchange's low dealing and insured storage charges.
