Besides its cultural significance, gold continues to be a strategic element of investment portfolios that generates risk-adjusted returns for the investor, and is thus bought by many.
Keen investors also look at gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and digital gold as investment options.
Although tangible gold continues to be a major and indispensable part of the culture in Chennai, investment in the form of gold coins and jewellery is expensive because of the additional making charges. Investment in bullion is also non-yielding. Security or safekeeping of the gold is a major challenge too.
Thus, those buyers who are looking to make some profits or don’t want to be bothered by security issues for their investments can choose to invest in electronic and digital forms of gold.
