About this episode

 

 

Do you invest in bonds or gold? In this episode of The Australian Finance Podcast, Kate Campbell and Owen Rask chat to Chris Brycki from Stockspot, as he shares his case for defensive assets being included in an investors portfolio.

MoneySmart defines defensive assets as “cash or fixed interest investments that are generally low risk and less volatile than growth investments”.

Chris discusses how he views defensive assets like cash, bonds & gold, why long-term investors should consider investing in defensive assets, the role they play in a diversified portfolio, and why he invests in gold.
