20-Year Wealth Race: Gold vs Silver vs Nifty 50

If you had invested ₹10,000 back in 2005, here’s what it would be worth today (Oct 2025):

🏆 Gold: ₹1,94,418

🥈 Silver: ₹1,32,157

📈 Nifty 50: ₹1,25,010

Over two decades, gold quietly outperformed both silver and India’s benchmark equity index, delivering the highest wealth creation among the three.

But here’s the nuance investors often miss:

• Gold shines during uncertainty and inflation cycles
• Silver is more volatile but tracks industrial demand
• Nifty 50 rewards patience with long-term compounding and corporate growth

This chart shows why asset diversification matters — each performer leads at different points, but together, they build resilience across market cycles.
