Ways to invest in Gold in Daman and Diu

You can invest in the following ways in gold:

Gold coins - After gold jewellry and ornaments, gold coins are the most common type of gold that's purchased as an investment (especially in India). Gold coins are available in various weights like 1 gram, 2 grams, 5 grams, 10 grams, etc. and represent smaller investments than, say, gold bullion. Your investments will be subject to the same market factors that affect the price of all types of gold, but your risk will be significantly lesser as the denominations are lower, and coins can be purchased at any time during the year. Purchasing a few coins, a month of a standard weight can be used to average out the gold price you've paid as the average gold price in India in that particular year. Gold coins are easy to acquire and provide a way for low- and medium-income groups to invest in gold as a commodity.

Gold bullion - Standard-sized pieces of gold, gold bars (like in the movies) and gold tablets fall under the definition of gold bullion. Gold bullion is bought primarily as an investable commodity, in larger quantities, from a certified authority. It is generally traded in weightages over 500 grams, the most common being 1 kilo. Gold bullion also facilitates international gold trading and is one of the most common ways in which gold is transferred overseas, apart from gold ownership certificates. Most types of gold bullion are internationally tradable.

Jewelry & Ornaments - Are bought and sold in India at the drop of a hat, for weddings, naming ceremonies, festivals, etc. and are the most common form of gold in the country. It should be noted that when gold is shaped into ornaments and jewelry, it is sometimes mixed with an alloy to allow for greater malleability, which results in the loss of some purity. Gold in this form has utility as a gift, a daily use item and also as a means of preserving the asset value, should the need arise to sell it.

It's very important to read up on the factors that affect the gold rate, such as the strength of the US Dollar, demand versus supply, international currency movements, etc. before deciding on the right time to invest. Investing and trading in gold is an activity centered on the right timing.
