How Much Gold Do I Need In My Portfolio Last week we saw, Stephen Flood, CEO of GoldCore, Mark O'Byrne of Health Wealth and Gold, and Dave Russell of GoldCoreTV, discussing if it is possible to build the #perfectportfolio for the next 10 years by identifying the current megatrends that we are seeing emerging and suggesting how they might affect your portfolio. In this episode of the #Goldnomics podcast, they address which elements they believe should be included in the portfolio in order to both protect you from and take advantage of these megatrends. Given today's scenario, all three believe that everyone should re-evaluate their portfolio. As prudent investing would suggest not having all your eggs in precious metals, what other asset classes and assets should you be considering? Mark's investment portfolio includes: Precious metals - 64%, wherein he allocates 30% in gold, 30% in Silver, and 4% in platinum, but for him, this is not with regards to a 10-year view but more likely to be for 2 years, since he believes he would change the allocations in precious metals when they outperform other asset classes. Stocks- He believes stocks should be a hedge against inflation and so he allocates 10% to equities. Although he prefers buying stocks in natural resources rather than buying S&P500 or the MSCI world index because this will always remain in demand. Property- Mainly focusing on residential property, he allocates 10% and feels that there will be a growth in demand in this sector around the world. Cash- Allocating 10% in cash is a bit high but he considers this as an opportunity to acquire other assets in time. Cryptocurrencies- According to Mark, it is advisable to invest some amount in the crypto universe. He encourages everyone to learn more about this asset class and its technology and as a result, he put 3% in cryptocurrencies. Trading- 3% is allocated in trading since he believes trading is another good option for enhancing yield Stephen's Investment Portfolio Precious metals- 10%, within this he allocates 75% to gold and 25% to silver since silver is more volatile. He further discusses the pros and cons of precious metals investing. Cash- In his opinion it is good to have 5% of your portfolio for cash and also suggests having it in different currencies. Stocks- He gives 25% to stocks, but believes it is important to look at the changing demographics. As a result, he is investing in healthcare, technology & blockchain. Property & Bonds- Together it consists 45% of your portfolio. According to him, the property market is a tangible asset and it is good to have a certain share dedicated to the property market. Even though bonds are overvalued, he sees opportunities in the peer-to-peer lending markets. Speculation - He allocates 15% to speculating on things like bitcoin and others. However, he warns that this should be done only with money you can afford to lose. Dave's Pension Portfolio Stocks- He allocated 40% in stocks and identified 4 key areas where is going to invest. First is resources, then renewable energy, freshwater, and the fourth are the dividend aristocrats. Property via fund- He allocates 20%, keeping in mind the nature of this portfolio which is for the pension holder, he wants to make it hassle-free so he would invest via funds Bonds- Since the Western bond markets won't perform well in the coming inflationary environment for fixed income he is looking East to China. So he putting 10% in Chinese bonds. Precious metals- He allocates 30% wherein he gives 25% to gold and 75% to silver, as he believes the silver market fundamentals will continue to be favourable in coming years. Lastly, he mentions that in his portfolio there's no allocation for cryptos since he's not a huge fan of this.

In today's new #Goldnomics Podcast, Stephen Flood, CEO of GoldCore and Mark O'Byrne of Health Wealth Gold joins Dave Russell of GoldCore to discuss if it is possible to build the #perfectportfolio for the next 10 years? At GoldCore we believe that every portfolio should have an allocation to gold and silver, the percentage of that allocation should change depending on the current economic, financial, and geopolitical environment. Your portfolio needs to take into consideration the long term megatrends in these elements. But what are the current megatrends that we are seeing emerging and how will it effect your portfolio. #Inflation is a key emerging megatrend that is going to represent a primary risk to all the investors. This is primarily being driven by the astronomical levels of money printing by central banks. This has accelerated in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic which has seen the US National Debt Skyrocket to $28 trillion dollars plus. Continued massive money printing ultimately historically results in currencies being significantly debased and losing their purchasing power. In the face of this pending massive wave of inflation, the traditional method of building your portfolio, where you invest 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds is no longer applicable as it just will not protect you. #Technology The technology revolution continues and is and will continue to drive efficiencies and change the way that we live and work over the next 10 years, but how will that effect your portfolio? #Geopolitics The next megatrend is #geopolitics, and the geopolitical tensions between the US and Soviet Union and China which could develop result in further trade and currency wars. Signs of this can been seen in the form of the Chinese divesting some of their US Treasury holding and a significant increasing their gold holdings. To read our latest blog post on how demand for gold surges in China: https://news.goldcore.com/demand-for-gold-surges-in-china/ But how will these megatrends impact traditional and newer asset classes? Cash The adage that 'Cash is the king' is no longer holds when faced with a wave inflation and a negative interest rate environment. So how do we manage short term liquidity needs? Bonds Bonds underperform in high inflation environments but may also run in to Yield Curve Control (YCC) by Central Banks so how do you create a fixed income aspect to your portfolio.? Stocks Stock markets have undoubtedly been the benefit of Central Bank money printing and have rallied to new all-time highs. Will extreme valuations eventually correct or will they continue to be seen as a better alternative to cash as currency printing continues? Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies are in a raging bull market and see as a much more favourable alternative to cash. But they are disliked by banks and governments. Is there still a role for them in your portfolio and is the risk that legislation will outlaw them just hyperbole? Property Many property markets are looking very frothy at the moment and any liquidity squeeze could expose them as being vulnerable. But how do the perform in an inflationary or hyperinflationary environment and where does the best value and liquidity remain in the global property markets?

GoldCore directors have been monitoring the political and economic situation in Hong Kong for the last year. It has clearly deteriorated in the last two weeks and we are now erring on the side of caution in terms of our client's who store assets there.We have emailed and phoned all GoldCore Secure Storage clients with assets in Hong Kong and strongly encouraged them to move their assets to Singapore. GoldCore have also suspended trading of all gold and silver bars and coins in Hong Kong for the foreseeable future due to a fall in demand for assets stored there and the increasing risks.Specifically we see the risks as follows:- The scale and nature of violent protest has worsened in recent days- A top police official warned this week that Hong Kong’s society “has been pushed to the brink of a total breakdown”- Hong Kong has been downgraded and the property market and economy have slowed sharply and they are in a deepening recession- Potential for a crack down by the Chinese government which may compromise the mobility, liquidity and marketability of assets- There is speculation that currency controls may be imposed in the coming weeks or months- We do not see the situation improving in the near term and indeed see it worsening which will impact Hong Kong politically and economicallyWe take the recent developments very seriously. We can not ignore the deteriorating political situation in recent days and the increasing medium and long term financial and economic risks.Civil unrest is now destablising Hong Kong and political instability may compromise the liquidity and, in a worst case scenario, the move-ability and safety of assets. Already we have seen a deterioration in liquidity and premiums in Hong Kong given the political unrest and economic instability. It is prudent to take steps to assuage concerns of clients and to manage the risks which we are concerned may materialise in the medium and long term.It highlights the advantages of owning physical gold in terms of accessibility, portability and liquidity and the importance of owning gold in the safest jurisdictions.
