Gold's Role in Portfolio Diversification and Impact of Rupee-Dollar Exchange on Indian Gold ETFs

Gold serves as a portfolio stabilizer by reducing volatility and drawdowns, with a recommended allocation of 10-25% to improve risk-adjusted returns. While gold's long-term returns align broadly with equities, it is cyclical and event-driven rather than a consistent growth asset. In India, Gold ETF returns are influenced not only by international bullion prices but also by the rupee-dollar exchange rate, which affects domestic valuations and can cause local returns to diverge from global gold price movements.
