The Vast Majority Of Professional Investors Own Some Gold

Despite the generally negative attitude toward gold you hear in the mainstream financial media, the vast majority of professional investors in North America own at least some gold and the number has been growing in recent years.

A World Gold Council survey of 525 North American investors found a steadily growing trend of gold ownership. The survey included large institutions, consultants, and financial advisors.

In 2018, 69 percent of the survey respondents said they had some allocation to gold. In the most recent survey, 85 percent reported owning some gold.
