While a portfolio focused only on equities is geared entirely for growth, it is also fully exposed to stock market volatility. This model portfolio introduces a layer of diversification through precious metals. The allocation to Gold (20%) and Silver (10%) is designed to provide a cushion during periods of high inflation or equity market downturns, a feature not present in an all-equity strategy.
The weights of large-caps (35%), mid-caps (35%), gold (20%), and silver (10%) are determined based on our internal research. This allocation considers factors like historical risk and the correlation between these different asset classes to create a balanced portfolio.
This model portfolio is rebalanced on a quarterly basis. Once every quarter, this model portfolio is reviewed and the weights are aligned with the selected asset allocation strategy for the next quarter.
Your investment's taxation is determined when you redeem it, based on the specific tax laws governing each of its underlying ETFs. It is important to note that the tax treatment for Gold and Silver ETFs is different from that of equity ETFs.
