Introducing Elston Gold & Precious Metals Index

About this index

The Elston Gold & Precious Metals Index uses a strategic weighting scheme to allocate across Gold, Silver, Platinum & Palladium exposures.

Gold & Precious Metals are:
1. A store of value over time: Gold & Precious Metals have provided a store of value over time for thousands of years.
2. Uncorrelated assets: Gold & Precious Metals have low levels of correlation with equities, bonds or a classic 60/40 portfolio.  This enables risk-based diversification.
3. Age-old diversifiers: Gold can act as a “shock-absorber” in times of market stress, reflecting the benefits of asset-based diversification.
