    • Why it is better to invest in mutual funds than gold

      Being a traditional investment option, people usually park their money in gold when they are considering long-term investments. However, gold is not an investment that provides great returns in comparison to other investment channels.

      In fact, investing in mutual fund schemes and blue chip companies is encouraged for better returns. Additionally, the rise in gold prices does not necessarily indicate an upper-hand against inflation. The annualised returns provided by gold have dipped by more than half over the past 20 years. The last 3 years have been revelatory, as gold has fetched returns in the range of 4.68%, a much lower rate from earlier.

      It is best to allocate 5-10% of an individual’s investment portfolio to gold ETFs. This will ensure stable returns and a robust portfolio. The rest can be allocated in mutual funds and schemes offered by blue chip companies.
