Bitcoin is up around 26 per cent in one month, and Gold prices are up 7.6 per cent in a month, putting the spotlight back on alternative investments as investors weigh the risk-reward trade-off between crypto, equities and gold. While experts remain cautious on digital assets, equities continue to emerge as the preferred vehicle for long-term wealth creation, with gold retaining its role as a portfolio hedge.

Market experts broadly see equities as having the strongest structural case over the next decade, while gold is viewed as an important diversification and defensive asset. Crypto, despite its potential for outsized returns, continues to be associated with considerably higher volatility and regulatory uncertainty.
