How much should you hold in gold?

A general rule is to limit gold to no more than 5% to 10% of your portfolio. Depending on your situation and your risk tolerance, you may be more comfortable with a larger or smaller share of gold in your portfolio. Advising investors to take investing in gold seriously, Pankaj Mathpal, MD %26, CEO of Optima Money Managers, said: When allocating assets in portfolio management, it has been found that people consider exposure to equities and debt based on their appetite for risk, while ignoring gold, which is incorrect. He advised investors to adopt gold as an investment option and to also allocate it appropriately in their portfolio.

Deciding how much gold and silver to keep in your wallet should be a personal decision. Generally speaking, investors invest between 10 and 15% of their wealth in precious metals.
