Well this page shows the Asset allocation of the Fed Govt Comsuper.

They haven’t shown the listed / unlisted splits
Equity for example is
43% listed
10.5% unlisted

That’s nearly 54% of the entire investment

It’s a long term average of 7-9% annual earnings

Does anyone know of a superannuation fund which allows you to put your contributions into gold? (the shiny stuff not a mine). With Trump in the White House and what looks like four years of chaos ahead it seems that investing in gold might be sensible!

"Good time to buy gold" - for the sellers. There are people who would happily sell it to you.

Actually, there are some public offer funds that may have gold-only investment options, but finding them a needle in the haystack.

There are certainly ETF’s that are gold only funds.

This why there is always a buyer for every seller.

Though that is slightly different to actual touchy feely gold

historically high gold price mean miners are going to ramp up production.
