Given the ongoing volatility, and I think it is safe to assume that we will be facing volatility for some time to come, investing in Gold would be a good addition to a diversified investment portfolio. Historically, gold prices have remained stable, offering a way for investors to preserve their capital. It also acts as a good hedge against inflation . To gain exposure, I would recommend that you consider investing in a gold ETF , such as the SPDR Gold Shares ETF .
Finally, I would include an investment in an equity fund to generate long-term growth. To open a managed share portfolio, investors often require a minimum amount to make exposure to equities, and the costs involved with managing it, worthwhile. While there are low-cost trading platforms that offer investors a good entry point into the stock market, many investors may not have the proper knowledge or expertise to choose wisely, and risk losing their capital as a result.
Of course, your risk profile will determine how much you should allocate to each of the options above. However, it is important to note that even the lowest-risk investment portfolios have some exposure to equities. As your investment grows, you can start to add more asset classes to build yourself a properly diversified investment portfolio over time.
