With ETFs, we are diversifying and can wait if the price falls, but if we want to participate in futures, it means we have to take losses, and we are diversifying just until the contract expires. And in your case, if you want just diversification, then you have to allocate to ETFs in proportion to your equity PF, if the ratio of gold:equity is 1:10, it may feel inadequate, but if it is 1:4, it brings stability but to allocate 1/4th to gold could be opportunity cost if the equity portion is bigger. And some more diversification can be achieved with silver, as it is also available as ETFs. And there is always the choice of buying physical gold and silver.
