The role of gold in your portfolio & the economy
Description
Indians have a deep-rooted love affair with gold—it’s a family heirloom, a financial safety net, and a symbol of prosperity. With over 24,000 tonnes of gold owned by Indian households, our obsession isn’t just cultural—it’s economic.
But here’s the bigger picture: Why do governments, central banks, and investors continue to trust gold in an era dominated by stocks and cryptocurrencies? And how has gold evolved from a physical asset to digital investments like ETFs and sovereign gold bonds?
In this episode, we break down:
- How gold serves as a hedge against inflation and economic downturns?
- Why central banks are accumulating gold at record levels?
- The psychology behind India’s unwavering faith in gold
- The shift from traditional jewelry to modern gold investment options
- How much gold should actually be in your portfolio?
