What must you do?
Posted On Monday, Jul 14, 2008
Equity Market losses are piling up. The BSE Sensex is at a one year low.
Everyday we see the value of our equity portfolio shrink.
Is there some way to Insure our equity portfolios? Just like we insure Life through Life Insurance and Health through Health Insurance
Is there something that can reduce the impact of my equity portfolio losses and provide some relief during such bad times?
History shows that investing in Gold can help provide insurance to your portfolio...
| Year | BSE Sensex (Gain / Loss) | Gold INR (Gain / Loss) |
| 1982 | 4% | 21% |
| 1986 | -1% | 29% |
| 1987 | -16% | 22% |
| 1995 | -21% | 13% |
| 1998 | -16% | 8% |

| 2001 | -18% | 6% |

Past performance may or may not be sustained in the future
On many occasions stock markets declined or underperformed over the past 26 years. But, Gold gave positive returns and outperformed equities by a wide margin in all these occasions
