Are you looking for a way to diversify your portfolio and reduce your exposure to market volatility? If yes, then you might want to consider investing in gold. Gold is a unique asset class that has historically shown a low or negative correlation with equity and debt markets. This means that gold tends to move independently of stocks and bonds, and sometimes even in the opposite direction. Why is this the case? There are several reasons, but one of the main ones is that gold has a dual nature as both a commodity and a currency. Gold's demand is driven by both cyclical factors, such as industrial and jewelry use, and countercyclical factors, such as safe-haven and store-of-value appeal. Gold's supply is also limited and relatively stable, unlike fiat currencies that can be printed at will. We believe that Sovereign Gold Bonds are the best way to invest in gold! Here's why you should seize this opportunity of investing in SGB:- 💰 Fixed 2.5% p.a interest and Gold Returns, guaranteed by the Govt of India. 📈 13% CAGR, the return that the first tranche of SGB has given since its inception in 2015. 🚫 No management fees or other charges, unlike in Gold ETFs & mutual funds. Save on expense ratios 🚫 No Capital Gain tax on maturity. So, if you are looking for a way to enhance your portfolio's risk-return profile, you might want to consider adding some gold to your mix. #gold #invest #finance
