23. According to BoFA research, 71% of financial advisors hold 0-1% of assets in gold. Lack of diversification?
Very few advisor guided accounts hold gold, and those that do hold a minimal amount of it.

A plain SIP itself times the market automatically, buying more units when markets fall and fewer units when they rise. Great data story by @rohatgi_akshat… pic.twitter.com/X2VBhJlLmY
