SWOT Analysis For Investment Classes

This document compares the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of four major asset classes: equity, debt, real estate, and gold. For each asset class, key strengths include potential for returns and appreciation, while weaknesses involve volatility and market risks. Opportunities exist in growing sectors and markets, though threats include economic downturns, interest rate changes, and regulatory impacts across all asset classes. Diversification is presented as both a strength and strategy to mitigate risks within and across different investment options.
