3-5% are superfluous, then you can leave it alone.🤷🏼‍♂️

@All-in-or-nothing I would also be interested in the explanation, that's why I asked

@All-in-or-nothing I'm actually with you, but isn't it the case that from 5% gold there is a positive, noticeable influence on vola? But I would also go for 8-10

@jkb92 and @nitroxx I strongly assume that everyone who invests in gold has a certain objective in mind. In my case, and in my view this is also the most plausible approach for an allocation to gold, it is to reduce the maxDD of my portfolio. Since you can replicate this in your own backtests as well as in countless studies, a 3-5% allocation to gold has virtually no significant effect on a portfolio that otherwise consists purely of equities (and yes, this also includes ETFs on indices that only contain equities).

The minimum allocation for gold should be around 8-18%, if this is intended to reduce the maxDD and taking into account other key figures (Sharpe ratio etc.). From an allocation of 15%, however, you should think about other, uncorrelated asset classes (actually there is only BTC😉) with a historically higher return profile, because otherwise you run the risk of diluting the return profile of your own portfolio too much.

Overall, however, the other portfolio allocation (focus in the selection of equities or ETFs, etc.) is of course also important.

I hope that's enough for you as a reasonably well-founded answer to a "sensible" target allocation for gold in the portfolio.😉

@Nofan and what exactly is funny about a factual approach?

30% gold + 10% silver. Plus various derivatives and ETFs in this area.
I thought it made a lot of sense this year. 😅

It's impossible to say in general terms how much makes sense for your portfolio. It depends on the rest and your risk/return preference. Then it's fairly easy to work out the optimum proportion. For most portfolios, it should be between 20% and 30%.

Personally, I will build up 10% via a savings plan in $EWG2.

I have 7 percent, started implementing a savings plan about 2 or 3 years ago. One of my best decisions to date. 89 percent plus

I currently have a whopping 40% gold in my portfolio. In the future, however, I would like to reduce this to 30% with further ETF and individual share purchases.
