how much gold...

This question prompted me to weigh my wedding ring, seek out the current price of gold per gram, multiply by the mass in grams, convert from $ to £, divide by my total portfolio value and multiply by 100 to come up with a figure of ~ 0.05%
Then I remembered the sodding thing is platinum, not white gold. So ~ 0.00%1 -

I have a precious metals ETF, which is mainly gold ( but also silver, palladium and platinum) and bought about a year ago as a way of diversifying away from/reducing bonds %. As of today is 14% up.
Including gold in WP funds, probably accounts for approx 3% of my portfolio.1 -
