Gold has had a very impressive 2019 up close to ~25% YTD. Latest data from Bloomberg Intelligence reports that central banks have been buying nearly 20% of the world’s gold supply, approaching the highest levels since the Nixon era. Central banks were net sellers of Gold from 1971 through to 2010. Gold is an effective portfolio diversifier with low correlation to equity returns especially during wars, market crashes, and disasters. If you haven’t already, we recommend that you add some gold exposure to your portfolio.
