LONDON, 5 January 2015 – BullionVault analysis of how gold can reduce investment risk without harming annual returns is featured today by Bankrate.com, one of the United States' top personal finance sites.
"I think the key lesson is that gold is a useful balancing item," explains Adrian Ash, head of research.
"If you have a standard 60% equities, 40% bonds portfolio, adding gold would have reduced your risk without harming your return."
Bankrate includes a table of BullionVault's findings, showing how switching 10% of an investor's money into gold would have reduced the worst losses without significantly hurting returns over a variety of time periods since 1975.
