Pitcher Partners Chief Investment Officer Cameron Curko talked with Proactive about the surge in gold prices and the role the metal can play in a diversified investment portfolio.
Curko explained that gold has long been viewed as a hedge against inflation and a valuable diversifier thanks to its low correlation with traditional assets like stocks and bonds. “Gold tends to march to the beat of its own drum,” he said, highlighting how it can help balance portfolios when other markets underperform.
He also discussed practical ways for investors to get started, recommending low-cost gold ETFs, which provide exposure to physical bullion. For those with larger capital, Curko mentioned the State Street Gold Standard Fund, noting it offers one of the lowest-cost fund-based options.
On the risks, Curko cautioned that gold can experience significant drawdowns, sometimes falling 20–25% over certain periods. He stressed that investors should take a long-term view and understand that gold doesn’t generate income like equities or bonds.
Looking ahead, Curko acknowledged short-term drivers such as central bank buying and geopolitical factors that may support prices but emphasized that gold’s performance remains unpredictable.
