LONDON, 24 August 2017 – Analysis of gold's role in portfolio diversification from BullionVault is highlighted for finance professionals today by the Financial Times' specialist FTAdviser magazine.

"Having 10% in gold almost halved the losses of 2008 on a simple 60:40 portfolio of UK equities and government bonds, while going 25% gold reduced that risk still further."
Longer-term volatility rose with larger allocations however.
