The graph shows the value in US dollars (in millions of dollars) of investment in funds of four categories from 1988 to 2014.
The line graph displays the amount of money invested in four financial assets between 1988 and 2014, including real
estate
, gold
, fine art
, and stock. Millions of US dollars
are used as units of measurement.
It is obvious that over the indicated period, all four investment fund categories increased.
The one that increased the most dramatically was gold
. In 1988, about 50 million
dollars
were spent on real estate
and stock investments, while
75 million
dollars
were spent on fine art
, and 100 million
dollars
were spent on gold
. The value of an investment in fine art
fluctuated over the ensuing 18 years. In contrast
, there was a modest increase in real estate
investment (about $100 million
), while
interest in company shares and gold
increased significantly, with figures for both increasing to more than $200 million
.
From 2006 to 2014, gold
was the most heavily invested asset, peaking at 450 million
dollars
before falling. Fine art
was next,
steadily rising from 100 to about 325 million
dollars
. Comparatively, since 2006, the value of the company's stock and real estate
has only increased by about $50 million
