Q: What weights do you recommend in energy and gold at this time? Thanks. Shyam

Asked by Shyam on April 03, 2026

5i Research Answer:

Weighting really come down to a personal decision but as a minimum a 5% weight in each probably makes sense for diversification and some ability to contribute to the overall portfolio. We don't think many would argue with a 10% allocation to energy.
