Gold’s correlation to the wider group of commodities tends to be low; gold is less exposed to swings in business cycles, typically exhibits lower volatility, and tends to be significantly more robust in times of economic stress. Juan Carlos Artigas explains how research by the World Gold Council has shown that a strategic gold allocation of 2—10% of an overall portfolio typically increases risk-adjusted returns and lowers exposure to extreme losses. ” Gold should be viewed as a separate, distinct asset class,and a foundation to a well-diversified portfolio.” — Juan Carlos Artigas About the Speaker Juan Carlos Artigas leads Investment Research in the US for the World Gold Council. In this position, he is responsible for conducting proprietary research primarily focused on gold’s role in risk management and asset allocation strategies. He is a regular presenter at industry conferences and is a sought after speaker by institutional and private investors.
