Gold has always given reasonably good returns to investors in India and it is no longer considered an exotic investment. This is borne out by the fact that our cumulative investment in gold is much higher than the world average of barely 1% of investible assets. As Indians, we love gold. We always have. We buy gold when prices go down because they may go up again and we buy more when prices go up because they may go up further. The highest sales of gold and silver across India take place on Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya.


The year gone by saw a lull in gold prices and some serious short-selling by gold bears, especially after the US Fed started shutting the stimulus tap progressively. But unlike in the West, it is not just about calculated returns because in India we buy gold for a variety of reasons, including ornamentation, investment, social compulsion as well as religious reasons. This has ensured that the limitations imposed by the government have led to the spot prices being higher than futures prices because buyers are ready to pay a premium to secure physical delivery.


But while there are buyers for physical gold in India, dollar gold prices seem unlikely to show a spurt anytime soon due to the US Fed's changed strategy. Central banks may be big losers due to falling gold prices because they ramped up holdings in the last few years. But as a diversification strategy, it is faultless. The money which would have gone into gold two years ago is now flowing towards riskier assets and equities are back in favour — witness the dramatic rise in equity indices of several countries across the development spectrum.


There are enough reasons and abundant choices available to buy gold. Excellent price indications also come from our commodity exchanges which are open till midnight. Hallmarked physical gold can be bought from the futures exchanges as well as via jewellers. Similarly, investors too are spoilt for choice and can invest via ETFs and mutual funds. With efficient price indicators and a wide variety of gold products available, investing in gold this Akshaya Tritiya is an easy decision.

Trying to time the markets is never a good idea. They frequently go into excess territory on either side, which is the nature of all markets. The best way is to focus on asset allocation and aim to maximize portfolio returns and minimize portfolio risk and volatility. This is best achieved by investing in different assets via a systematic investment plan, which is designed to tackle price volatility and invests in different assets with about 10-15% of investible surplus going into gold.

Stick to Good Fund Manager who Can Multiply Your Investment

A manager may be the difference between the best and worst funds. Here's how you can find the right one    Does a mutual fund manager make a difference to your investment? The answer may not be as easy as you think, since most best-performing mutual funds have moved away from individualistic fund management to process-driven methods, limiting the scope of an individual's role in investment decisions. In fact, many fund managers would speak at length about how the "system" their fund house has in place makes their task of picking stocks easy even though it restricts their freedom. Still, the question is important, especially after recent reports that the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi ) may ask fund managers to disclose to investors their track record of managing money. Let us take a look at the universe of large-cap funds over the past five years. According to Value Research, an independent mutual fund tracking firm, the topper in the category is DSP...

How to gauge the risk profile of your mutual fund portfolio?

MUTUAL funds are considered to be an investment option for those who do not generally devote a lot of time to monitoring and managing their portfolios. Investors experience both good as well as tough times as far as mutual fund investments are concerned. But while evaluating the portfolio of their equity mutual fund holdings there are a few points that one should check to know about the level of risk that they are facing. Often there are situations where there is a higher risk than what was estimated initially. Here are a few ways to evaluate various risk levels. Individual holding exposure : The portfolio of the equity fund where one has invested or plans to invest needs to be scrutinised to see whether the risk levels are such that could lead to a larger volatility in the holdings.

NRIs and direct taxes code (DTC)

DTC Proposes To Do Away With Special Provision That Allows NRIs Liberalised Duration Of Stay In Country      THE new direct taxes code could bring a large number of global Indians under the tax net, as it does away with a provision that allowed individuals to escape tax in any country citing double tax avoidance.    The new legislation, introduced in Parliament on Monday, says an individual shall be a resident of India in any financial year if he is in the country for more than 59 days in that year, and has been has been India for more 365 days in four preceding financial years. A number of Indian industrialists including Vedanta's Anil Agarwal and Essar's Ravi Ruia have acquired non-resident status over the years.    The DTC has only attempted to clean up the provision in line with the laws globally.
