    How the Scenario Simulator Works

    This tool uses historical return data from major economic events to model how different portfolio allocations perform under stress. The "with gold" scenario assumes your gold allocation replaces a proportional mix of stocks and bonds.

    While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, historical patterns show that gold often acts as a portfolio stabilizer during periods of economic uncertainty, high inflation, and stock market volatility.
