Silver as an investment

Silver has been used for centuries, being passed down from generation to generation in Jammu and Kashmir. The affordability of silver makes it ideal for individuals who are just beginning their investment journey, providing them an excellent opportunity to invest in a time tested metal. A high demand coupled with limited resources make silver a smart investment, with its versatility ensuring there are always buyers for it.

Physical Silver – Silver in the form of jewellery, coins, bars, utensils, statues, etc. are some of the popular artefacts in Jammu and Kashmir. These can be purchased at jewellers across the state and serve dual purposes, acting as a utility element and as an investment. Silver jewellery is often not ideal, if viewed only from the investment purpose, given the fact that there are a lot of making and wastage charges involved. Coins can be purchased from banks and jewellers, with the ones purchased from banks coming with quality assurance and purity certificates, making them more expensive. These artefacts can be pledged or sold for immediate cash, making them ideal during emergencies.

Silver Contracts – New to most people in the state, silver contracts and futures are modern ways to invest in this precious metal. The National Multi Commodity Exchange, the Multi Commodity Exchange and the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange offer platforms for people to participate in silver trade. This option to invest in silver comes with a certain element of risk attached and a good knowledge about how markets function can be a huge advantage.
