The table below outlines the historical performance of key asset classes—including gold, silver and a diversified superannuation portfolio—across multiple time horizons to December 2025.
As shown, gold and silver have delivered above-average returns over the short, medium and long term, with particularly strong outperformance over the past 25 years versus most major asset classes.
Both metals have also significantly outpaced cash returns over the last 30 years.
Relatively low cash returns—especially after inflation—have been a key driver for investors turning to gold and silver as potential sources of growth and retirement income.
