FundsIndia Data Shows Equities Outperform Gold Over Long Term; 70:15:15 Portfolio Mix Performs Well
Gold has risen 35.3% over the past year, outperforming the Nifty 50 Total Return Index, which declined 5.4%. However, data from FundsIndia shows that over longer periods of 10 to 20 years, equities generally outperform gold by about 2 percentage points annually. Additionally, a 25-year analysis of asset allocation reveals that a portfolio mix of 70% equity, 15% debt, and 15% gold offers a strong balance of returns and consistency, outperforming other combinations in average returns and volatility over seven-year periods.
