Experts Back Equities Over Crypto and Gold for Long-Term Gains

Market experts are weighing in on the current state of alternative investments, including Crypto, gold, and equities. Bitcoin has surged by around 26% in one month, while gold prices have increased by 7.6% over the same period.

Jateen Trivedi, VP research analyst at LKP Securities, believes that equities have delivered more consistent long-term compounding compared to other asset classes.

Equities are viewed as having a stronger structural case over the next decade, while gold is seen as an important diversification and defensive asset. Crypto continues to be associated with higher volatility and regulatory uncertainty, despite its potential for outsized returns.

V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, also sees equities as the strongest asset class, predicting that equity returns could remain in double digits.
