Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or harbour
against economic, political, or social fiat currency
crises . The gold market is subject to speculation
as are other markets, especially through the use of
futures contracts and derivatives.
 Gold price has shown
along term correlation
with the price of crude
oil. This suggests a

 One can buy physical gold
from a reputed jeweller.
This can be bought as
bars/coins of pure gold or
as jewellery. Now-a- days
most banks also sell gold
coins. Buying physical gold
has high transactional
costs and also if bought
from a non-reputed
jeweller, it also has risks in
terms of getting duped on
purity of gold.

converting the e-gold into
physical gold. The
minimum quantity of
conversion is 1 gm.

Gold Funds. Gold funds are
fund of funds where the fund

 You own a demat account gold ETFs are the best
form of gold investment for you. If you don’t, choose
gold mutual funds. E-Gold needs time to mature as a
product and the separate account requirements are
too demanding for those not accustomed to trading.
While jewellery has value as consumption article,
gold bars and coins should be avoided.
