Gold
Historically, gold has been subconsciously viewed as a key to financial stability. The US dollar is just a piece of paper that people trust. It can be printed in whatever quantities and increase the national debt. Greece and Cyprus have already shown how "reliable" state bonds can be. Hypothetically, if a global crisis occurs and the major currencies hyper-inflate, they will devalue compared to gold because it's gold that remains the world's safe-haven asset.

Investment is essential to build wealth and secure the future. Today there are numerous investment options like stocks, mutual funds, bonds, exchange traded funds (ETF), and many more to choose from. Since each type of investment involves some risk-reward ratio, one must evaluate the risk profile and then choose the right investment option. One way to reduce the risk quotient is to plan investments across various financial instruments and categories. Balancing a diversified portfolio may be hard, but a safe haven investment to mitigate the risk. Gold is a highly liquid asset that has the potential to reduce the investor credit risk. In Switzerland gold is predominantly used to make jewellery, given its inherent cultural significance. Also, as an investment gold can help in portfolio diversification due to its low correlation, low volatility, and utility value. Gold stands out among the array of investment possibilities as a dazzling addition that offers stability and appeal. Not only is it an investment, but it's also a strategic move in the grand scheme of financial planning, a nod to tradition, and a hedge against uncertainty. As seasoned experts suggest, a judicious approach recommends limiting gold investments to approximately 10-15% of one's portfolio. This percentage may fluctuate based on economic tides or governmental debt dynamics. Yet, amidst the numerical deliberations, the guiding principle remains—align your investment strategy with your overarching financial goals.
