Gold Vs Silver Vs Sensex Since 2005: Which Investment Delivered Better Returns?

Gold and silver have emerged as important portfolio diversification options as investors gain access to ETFs, futures and other investment products. Ajay Kedia, MD & Director, Kedia Advisory, explains how gold can act as a portfolio stabiliser during periods of geopolitical tension and weak equity-market performance.

Kedia suggests keeping around 20% allocation to commodities or gold as part of a diversified portfolio. The discussion also looks at the long-term performance of gold, silver and the Sensex since 2005 and how investors can approach the next two decades.
