How does #GOLD stand up to other assets in terms of #Volatility?

Gold’s volatility increased less than that of equities and many commodities in 2020 

World @GoldCouncil analysis suggests Gold is still the most effective commodity investment in a portfolio, standing apart as a differentiated asset from the commodities complex.

Historically Gold has benefited from six key characteristics:

• Delivers superior absolute and risk-adjusted returns vs. commodities over multiple time horizons
• It's a more effective diversifier than other commodities
• Outperforms commodities in low inflation periods
• Lower volatility
• Proven store of value
• Highly liquid

Gold outperformed nearly every major commodity last year, also outpacing the negative returns of both major commodity indices
