Gold Portfolio Diversification Calculator

See how gold fits inside a broader asset mix. The calculator keeps physical gold, gold-related assets and other portfolio categories separate so the allocation picture remains interpretable.

How the Diversification View Works

The calculator uses each asset value as a percentage of the total entered portfolio. Physical gold and financial gold remain separate so their different structures are visible.

Weight % = Asset Value ÷ Total Portfolio × 100

Gold Diversification Is Not Just a Percentage

A 10% gold allocation tells you size, not whether the portfolio is actually diversified. The rest of the assets, their correlations and the difference between bullion and gold-related securities also matter.

Keep Gold-Related Assets Distinct

Gold miners can have equity, operating and company-specific risks. Financial gold can have product and counterparty features. Grouping everything as “gold” can hide those differences.

Use this as an allocation diagnostic rather than an optimization engine.
