Gold ETF
An open-ended Mutual Fund scheme that will invest the money collected from investors in standard gold bullion of 99.5% purity. Mutual funds with an open-ended structure that track changes in the price of gold are known as exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. Purchasing from them offers you the opportunity to trade stocks with freedom in addition to the opportunity to invest in gold. These funds trade on the stock exchange just like the shares of a company. Thus, investors can buy or sell units of Gold ETF any time.
Gold savings plan
Many jewellers have introduced gold savings schemes in recent years. Gold or jewellery savings schemes allow you to deposit a fixed sum each month for the duration of your choice. When the period is up, you can buy gold (from the same jeweler) for the total amount deposited, plus a bonus.
Gold jewellery
Jewelry made of gold raises questions about safety, expense, and outdated styles. Additionally, the cost of gold jewelry may increase due to manufacturing fees. The cost of making varies based on the kind of gold jewelry you purchase. There will be significant manufacturing costs if the gold jewelry has a complex design.
