The case for gold: Protect and build your wealth -Reuters

Why buy gold?

Gold has been a proven investment for thousands of years. Why? Because gold holds its value for generations and is universally recognized as a store of wealth.

Today, gold offers investors four key benefits:

• Long-term returns: gold delivers positive returns in good times and bad, gaining ground particularly during periods of high inflation.
• Diversification: gold behaves differently from other assets, holding its own even when other assets such as bonds and the stock market are under pressure.
• Portfolio protection: gold makes portfolios less risky and helps generate higher returns.
• Liquidity: the gold market is large and accessible so gold can be bought and sold with ease, even when conditions in other markets are tough.

Delivering long-term returns and beating inflation

Gold generates robust returns across economic cycles. Looking back over the past 50 years, gold prices increased by an average of nearly 11% per year[1], comparable to the returns from US equities and considerably better than US bonds. Gold consistently outpaces inflation, too[2]. In periods of high inflation - when consumer prices are increasing by 5% or more, - gold prices on average have gained over 20%[3]
