Gold typically only makes up around 0.8%-1% of global investment portfolios, and objections to investing in gold come in a range of forms; for some investors, the lack of coupon is a problem, while others believe gold lacks liquidity. Others believe that gold is just too volatile. And yet gold is prized by the central bank community, whose premise for buying gold is to control inflation and promote economic stability.
