Hold gold via multi-asset funds: Experts
Mint Kolkata
|May 29, 2025
Lower and stable gold prices encourage purchase of big-ticket items, especially bridal jewellery
After gaining around 30% so far this year, gold has halted its stellar rally as safe-haven demand cools across the globe. Yet, even as riskier investments like equities regain allure, gold retains its strategic importance in a diversified portfolio.
There are three major options for taking exposure to gold—jewelry stocks, gold exchange-traded funds (ETF), and multi-asset allocation funds. Experts, however, suggest that the best way to play gold at this juncture is through multi-asset funds with prudent allocations to the yellow metal.
"An outright direct exposure to gold through ETFs or physical holdings may not be advisable at current levels," Taher Badshah, chief investment officer at Invesco Asset Management (India), told Mint. "Yet, one should also be aware of under-allocation as the trend (for gold) is still upwards. Funds with 15-20% gold exposure are the sweet spot right now."
