All values in TZS. USD-denominated assets (S&P 500, Gold, Bitcoin) include an estimated FX gain of ~0.1%/yr based on the inflation differential between Tanzania (3.1%) and the US (~3%). This uses purchasing power parity as a long-run approximation — actual FX movements can differ significantly in the short term. S&P 500 based on 1957-2024, Gold on 2000-2024, Bitcoin on 2015-2024. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.
