Gold Stack Diversification Analyzer | Track Your Precious Metals Portfolio

Gold Stack Diversification Analyzer and Investment Optimization Tool

For gold enthusiasts and investors across Australia, diversifying your precious metals holdings is essential in a market known for its unique dynamics. Our Gold Portfolio Diversification Analyser is tailored specifically for Australian investors, helping you track, visualise, and optimise your gold investments across different categories while accounting for local market conditions.

What Makes an Australian Gold Portfolio Different?

Australian gold investors face distinct considerations compared to international counterparts:

Perth Mint Offerings: Access to world-renowned Perth Mint products with their unique premiums and investment characteristics

Australian Gold Coins: Specialised investment opportunities through Kangaroos, Nuggets, Lunar Series, and other Australian-minted products

GST Considerations: Understanding the tax implications of different gold products (investment-grade gold is GST-free, while other forms may incur taxes)

Superannuation Integration: Potential for including precious metals within self-managed super funds under Australian regulations

Local Dealer Premiums: Navigating the Australian dealer network with its distinct premium structure compared to international markets

Categories in Your Australian Gold Portfolio

A well-rounded Australian gold portfolio typically includes a strategic mix of:

Australian Bullion: Perth Mint coins and bars, often trading at different premiums than international equivalents

International Bullion: Global products like American Eagles, Canadian Maples, or South African Krugerrands

Numismatic/Collector Coins: Items with value beyond their gold content, including Australian commemorative issues

Physical ETFs and Allocated Storage: Products offering gold exposure without home storage requirements

Gold Jewellery: A traditional form of gold ownership with cultural significance across Australia’s diverse communities
