Gold Allocation Calculator
Gold's role as a portfolio diversifier — how a 5-15% sleeve changes blended return and risk versus pure equity-debt.
Formula
Gold earns its 5-15% place not by return (it roughly matches inflation long-term) but by low-to-negative correlation in crises — it zigs when equities crash. SGBs add a 2.5% coupon and tax-free maturity gains, making them India's most efficient gold wrapper.
