+++ How much gold makes sense in a portfolio? +++

Hello everyone,

At the beginning of 2024, I started to include gold in my portfolio and opted for EUWAX Gold II
$EWG2 (-0.3%) in the process.

The diversification was particularly important to me in order to make myself less dependent on fluctuations in the stock market and global political events and to ensure long-term value retention.

For me, this is a sensible building block in any portfolio.

For me, diversification now also includes cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin
$BTC (-2.3%) and Ethereum
$ETH (-1.76%)which have also made a significant contribution to increasing my portfolio.

Since the beginning of the year gold an impressive increase in value of almost 30 % achieved.

For me, gold and cryptocurrencies remain a long-term investment.

Current gold-all-time highs:

-In Euro: € 2,567.11

-in US dollars: $2,787.54

(Reached on 30.10.2024 -closing prices)

Diversification ⚙️

This always raises the question for me:

How much gold in a portfolio actually makes sense?

There are different strategies for this, which depend heavily on the individual investment strategy, risk appetite and market conditions.

Many experts, investment banks and investment advisors recommend a gold share of around 5-10 % of the portfolio.

Strategies for the ideal gold weighting in the portfolio

1. classic diversification (5-10%)

One allocation of 5-10 % in gold is considered a proven approach to diversify a portfolio.

(Allocation refers to the strategic distribution of assets across asset classes).

-Protection against systematic risks:

Gold often moves in the opposite direction to equities and bonds. In times of crisis, gold remains stable or increases in value.

-Limited opportunity costs:

A moderate proportion of gold hardly affects the growth potential of the portfolio, as the majority is invested in higher-yielding asset classes such as equities or bonds.

-Global hedging:

Gold not only protects against local market risks, but also against global uncertainties such as geopolitical tensions or economic crises.

Example of a balanced portfolio:

-55 % equities and ETFs

-30% bonds

-10% gold

-5% cryptocurrencies

2. defensive strategy (10-20 %)

A gold share of 10-20 % is particularly suitable for conservative investors or in times of heightened uncertainty.

-Focus on value preservation:

Gold offers stability in turbulent market phases or when risk appetite is low.

-Hedging against specific risks: A higher proportion of gold makes sense, particularly in the event of high inflation, currency devaluations or geopolitical conflicts.

Example of a defensive portfolio:

-40 % bonds

-30% equities and ETFs

-20% gold

-10% other real assets (e.g. real estate funds)

3. tactical allocation

A flexible, tactical allocation can make sense for experienced investors.

-Anti-cyclical investing:

Gold holdings are increased when risks (e.g. fears of recession) increase and reduced when markets are stable.

-Taking advantage of market cycles:

Active management makes it possible to benefit from fluctuations in the gold price.

Example:

-Stable times: 5 % gold

-In times of crisis: up to 15 % gold

Important: This strategy requires in-depth market knowledge and continuous monitoring of the economic situation and a quicker response.

Forms of gold investment

-#1 Physical gold (coins, bars): Direct control and safekeeping, but involves storage costs e.g. for a safe deposit box.

-#2 ETFs/ETCs: Easy trading and low costs.

My favorite: EUWAX Gold II
$EWG2 (-0.3%)

EUWAX Gold II is an exchange-traded commodity (ETC) from the Stuttgart Stock Exchange that securitizes the ownership of one gram of gold from a 100-gram gold bar.

On request, the physical gold can even be delivered to the exact gram.

A particular advantage of this product is the free delivery from a quantity of 100 grams within Germany.

EUWAX Gold II also impresses with its tax structure:

As it is treated like physical gold, capital gains are tax-free after a holding period of more than one year.

In addition, there is generally no tax deduction when selling via banks or online brokers.

🔖 Savings plan options with:

- Scalable Capital

- Comdirect

- Consorsbank

- DKB Bank

3.Gold mining shares: Higher risk, but potentially higher returns.

My favorite in the gold mining sector:
Newmont $NEM (+3.02%)
🔑

Newmont is the only gold company in the S&P 500 and scores with strategic acquisitions and low production costs (all-in sustaining costs) of currently 1.620 USD per ounce.

I hope you enjoyed this insight! I'll keep working on exciting articles for you.

++ Gold in the portfolio: My motives and goals ++

Hello everyone,

As announced a few weeks ago, I have finally managed to write an article on the subject of gold in my portfolio.

In the following, I would like to briefly explain why I decided to make this investment and what goals I am pursuing with it.

Gold fascinates me because it offers stability in turbulent times and crises and is considered a "safe haven".

It also serves as protection against inflation and geopolitical risks and can mitigate losses in times of crisis.

The following is particularly important to me diversificationas gold has a low correlation to other asset classes and carries no currency risk.

This also describes my reasons for investing in gold very well.

In addition to my technology, consumer, REIT and pharmaceutical shares as well as the Vanguard All-World, I wanted another pillar to optimize the portfolio and, in particular, diversification. diversification to further advance portfolio optimization and diversification.

I currently see a target value for my gold position of 12 % of the total portfolio value.

This value is also recommended by some portfolio managers and investment banks as a target value, as it should offer a good balance between hedging and return.

I have deliberately against physical gold and instead opted for a special product from Börse Stuttgart, which was presented and briefly explained by @InvestmentPapa was presented and briefly explained here.

(Thanks again for your explanation dear @InvestmentPapa)

I didn't want to keep coins or gold bars at home or in a safe deposit box, but wanted to track the performance of my investment directly in the overall portfolio.

I also wanted to minimize the costs for a safe deposit box.

My choice fell on $EWG2 (-0.3%)
EUWAX Gold IIa product of the Stuttgart Stock Exchange.

It is 100 percent covered by physical precious metal, and the entire precious metal stock is held securely in vaults at a custodian company in Germany.

EUWAX Gold II is an exchange-traded commodity (ETC) that securitizes one gram of gold from a 100-gram gold bar.

It is even possible to buy the physical gold to the exact gram if required.

Another advantage of the product is that delivery is possible from 100 grams in Germany is possible free of charge.

It should be particularly emphasized that, due to the product structure of EUWAX Gold II, there is generally no risk of tax deduction when sold through banks and online brokers.

The purchase, redemption and sale of EUWAX Gold II are taxed treated in the same way as physical gold, which means that capital gains are tax-free after a holding period of more than one year.

Gold is important to a broad and diverse group of users worldwide, ranging from private investors to jewelry and electronics manufacturers and central banks.

Asian central banks in particular are currently increasing their gold reserves.

In the near future, I plan to add another gold share to my portfolio that I have held before:

⛏️ Newmont Mining $NEM (+3.02%) ⛏️

The company has a unique selling proposition:

$NEM (+3.02%)
Newmont the only gold stock listed in the S&P 500.

The past quarters were also characterized by very good figures, and the management is gradually expanding the projects strategically.

The all-in sustaining costs (production costs per ounce of gold) are currently USD 1,400. 🏆

I hope you found this brief insight into my investment decision interesting.

Best regards 💬

Michael

I am currently taking a very close look at equities in the gold sector.

Especially $ABX (+0.54%) and$NEM (+3.02%) which are historically cheaply valued.

The dividend yield is also very interesting.

I would like to expand this area somewhat, in addition to the $EWG2 (-0.3%)

Does anyone else currently have an eye for mining stocks?

Hello everyone.

I can't decide whether to buy 30 $NEM (+3.02%) shares or not. That's why I'm asking you what you think.

Hello dear community,

I am pursuing a dividend strategy, but from next year I want to focus more on growth. As a basis, I would like to run a savings plan on the $VWCE (+0.17%) This will also be my largest position. I also want to divest myself of some positions such as $NEM (+3.02%)
$RIO (-0.87%)
$NDX1 (+0.57%) when the price rises and I can sell with a plus.

As growth stocks I have thought of for the beginning $AMZN (+0.26%)
$MSFT (-1.05%)
$NOVO B (-17.74%)
$GOOGL (+0.94%) but I'm not sure yet. Many thanks in advance for the feedback 😊
