When markets sync up and sink — what keeps you afloat?

Posted On Tuesday, Aug 26, 2025

Most investors diversify between equity and debt — an approach that often works across cycles. Equity for growth, debt for stability.

But here’s the truth: true diversification goes beyond just these two.

It’s about spreading across asset classes, especially those that don’t always move in sync — like gold.

Let’s understand why when interest rates rise, equity and debt may fall together?

Debt Instruments (Bonds)

Equities (Stocks)

Over the years, we’ve seen many instances where both equity and debt lost value at the same time — leaving portfolios neutral.

So, when both slip at once—what’s your safety net?

That’s where low-correlation assets come in. Especially during crisis, they offer a different rhythm—a true counterbalance when other asset classes sync up in a fall.

Gold: The counterbalance

It’s not about returns. It’s about resilience.

Gold serves as a counterweight — a safeguard when other asset classes are falling.

But then there are the hassles of lockers, purity checks, and finding the right time to sell?

That’s old-school.

Here’s a smarter way to own gold — without ever touching a gold bar.

Quantum Gold Savings Fund is a modern, convenient solution that brings the power of gold into your portfolio with just a few clicks - No storage stress. No quality doubts.

Why Quantum Gold Savings Fund?

Adding Gold helps create a portfolio that doesn’t just chase return — but builds resilience. Because when equity and debt fall in tandem, it’s not just returns that take a hit — it’s conviction.

Quantum’s 12|20:80** (Barah-Bees-Assi) Asset Allocation Approach builds on this time-tested relationship between asset classes and suggests a 20% allocation to gold to balance out the 80% equity component in a portfolio. Whether you choose Active or Passive Investing – Gold should be a vital component.
