💡 Canadian Gold Investor Guide
Portfolio Allocation: Most Canadian financial planners recommend allocating 5–15% of a diversified portfolio to gold and precious metals. This allocation provides downside protection during equity bear markets while maintaining growth potential during inflationary periods.
Physical vs Paper Gold: Physical bullion (bars, coins) provides tangible ownership with no counterparty risk, ideal for long-term holdings. ETFs (CGL.TO, MNT.TO) offer convenience for trading and rebalancing. A combination of both can optimize for both security and flexibility.
