Key Takeaways Gold and property have been very popular investments; however, they require large lump sum commitments. Property can be hard to sell. In a balanced portfolio, an investor needs a mix of more liquid (easy to sell) investments as well as the traditional asset classes such as gold and property. Mutual funds can give you exposure to gold and other asset classes; you can invest a modest amount and not be burdened by having to shell out a lump sum at one go.
