Context

Gold is a highly liquid asset, which is no one’s liability, carries no credit risk, and is scarce, historically preserving its value over time. It also benefits from diverse sources of demand: as an investment, a reserve asset, jewellery, and a technology component. Since 1971, gold’s return has been similar to equities and outperformed bonds. In the last 20 years, gold outperformed most major asset classes and it’s global investment demand increased by an average of 15% per year. Through its dual nature as a consumer good and investment, gold has historically preserved its value. Unlike fiat currencies, gold can’t be printed, only mined — this explains in good part why it has consistently outperformed all major fiat currencies.
