Americans rely on precious metals to support their retirement

What is the role of investing in precious metals?

Value preservation and hedging functions

Anti inflation: Precious metals such as gold and silver are often seen as effective tools for combating inflation. During periods of currency depreciation or economic instability, the value of precious metals often remains relatively stable or rises, making them a safe haven for investors.

Opportunities for capital appreciation

Long term appreciation: In history, the value of gold and other precious metals has shown a long-term upward trend. Although they may be affected by market fluctuations in the short term, precious metals typically bring relatively stable capital appreciation in the long run, especially during periods of slow or uncertain economic growth.

Diversified investment portfolio

Reduce risk: Precious metals, as an investment tool with low correlation to traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds, can help investors diversify their investment portfolios and diversify risks. For example, when the stock market falls, precious metals often maintain good performance, thereby balancing the volatility of investment portfolios

Improving Health Care

Private equity plays a critical role in supporting quality, affordable, accessible health care in the United States. Private equity invested more than $206 billion in U.S. health care throughout 2021 to fund research into deadly diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, expand and renovate facilities, modernize medical records and health care data, and make other needed investments.

How does private investment strengthen retirements?

Precious metal investment helps diversify pension funds

As part of a diversified investment portfolio, private equity has always been the asset class with the highest return on public pension funds, with a median annualized return of 15% over 10 years. Over 34 million US civil servants rely on private equity, while 89% of public pension funds invest in private equity.

Reading testimonies from public pension fund officials, statements from members of Congress, research from economists, and recent pension fund returns, these reports demonstrate how private equity outperforms other asset classes.
