Gold, as an investment
The price of gold in the international market is based on demand and supply. And it's not easy to predict the demand-supply scenario because of multiple factors (both national and international) affecting it.
Gold is used as a hedge against inflation. Over the last 20 years, the average return from gold has been around 7 per cent as against whereas return from equity investments have been around 16-17 per cent.
Gold is a safe investment and one can expect around 6-9 per cent returns from gold in the long-term. In the short-term the scenario can be pretty volatile. The gains and the losses can be high, depending on how various short-term factors play out.
Investment in gold can be small portion of any investors' portfolio as a secure bet against inflation and as a means of diversifying the portfolio. In the long run investment in gold may not give the same kind of high returns as equity and real estate.
Investing through Gold ETF's is a much better option than buying real gold.
