Frequently Asked Questions
Is gold a good investment in Malaysia?
Gold has delivered ~8–10% CAGR in MYR terms over the past 10 years (2014–2024), partly because the ringgit weakened against USD. In USD terms, gold returned ~6–7% CAGR over the same period. Gold is a good inflation hedge and portfolio diversifier (typically 10–15% of portfolio), but not a primary wealth-builder — equities and EPF outperform long-term.
How do I calculate gold investment return in Malaysia?
Gold return = (Current price − Buy price) ÷ Buy price × 100%. For annualised return: CAGR = (Current/Buy)^(1/years) − 1. Example: bought 10g at RM280/g in 2019 (RM2,800 total), now worth RM450/g (RM4,500) — total return = 60.7%, CAGR = (4500/2800)^(1/5) − 1 = 9.97% p.a. Note: physical gold has no yield (unlike dividends/EPF).
What is the difference between 999 and 916 gold in Malaysia?
999 gold (24K) = 99.9% pure — used for investment bars, Kijang Emas, wafers. Sells closest to spot price. 916 gold (22K) = 91.6% pure — standard for jewellery in Malaysia. 750 gold (18K) = 75% pure — fashion jewellery. For investment purposes, always buy 999 gold (Public Gold, Maybank Gold, Hello Gold) — you pay and sell at spot price with minimal spread.
Where to buy gold for investment in Malaysia?
Best options for investment gold in Malaysia: (1) Maybank Gold Investment Account — digital, no storage cost, 24K gold at spot price, min 1g; (2) Public Gold — physical bars/coins, widest range, competitive spread; (3) Hello Gold / Versa — app-based, fractional grams from RM1; (4) Kijang Emas (BNM) — sovereign coins, legal tender, sell back to BNM. Avoid jewellery gold for investment (high markup, low resale).
How much gold should I have in my investment portfolio?
Most financial planners recommend 5–15% of portfolio in gold as a hedge. Gold doesn't produce income (no dividends or interest) — it's a store of value and currency hedge. In Malaysia, a typical diversified portfolio: 40–50% EPF/bonds (income), 30–40% equities/unit trusts (growth), 10–15% gold (hedge), 5% cash. Don't overweight gold — it underperforms equities over most 20-year windows.
