How to invest in gold?
Gold is mainly purchased in Tamil Nadu as a relatively safe investment that has traditionally been appreciated. Apart from that, Indians participate in various other investment channels such as real estate; on an enormous scale, gold is an important and major part of the investment portfolio.
Generally, gold is invested in the form of coins, bars, and jewelry in Tamil Nadu. However, in recent years, new techniques of investment in gold have provided investors new opportunities to trade in gold. Investors are now started investing in gold-related stocks and mutual funds. For Example, ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are useful and easy financial instruments that combine stock investment’s versatility and the simplicity of gold investments. These are some of the popular ways of investing in gold in Tamil Nadu:
The most prominent way of investing in gold in Tamil Nadu is buying gold jewelry. People traditionally buy gold on festive and auspicious occasions as it is seen as a safe and simple investment. But the one disadvantage of buying gold jewelry is that you need to pay for the making charges, which could increase up to another 10% of the price. All over, the popularity of designs and fashion change so that you might not receive the same price for your jewelry when you wish to sell it. There could be extra costs if you sell the jewelry to a different jeweler other than the original jeweler.
Although purchasing gold jewelry for immediate use is a viable choice, other more convenient and cost-effective alternatives are available now if you plan to keep it as a long-term investment.
Investment in Gold coins, biscuits, and gold bars
Investing in Gold coins, biscuits, and bars is another better option. You can get coins in different weights that fit different budgets. Coins may be purchased from a bank or a certified jewelry showroom. Moreover, keep in mind that banks only sell gold coins and do not repurchase them, and then you need to sell them to a jeweler.
ETFs method of Gold
Old forms of gold investing, like buying jewelry, are taking place for newer forms of investing, like ETFs, gold mutual funds, and derivatives.
Individuals in Tamil Nadu can invest in buying Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Investments in gold ETFs can be made online, revolutionizing how gold is bought and giving gold investments in Tamil Nadu a whole new dimension. 1 gram of gold is equal to ETF. They are becoming more common as they provide several benefits over purchasing actual gold such as jewelry or coins.
1. ETFs are exchanged on the stock exchange. You can buy and sell easily, and there are no liquidity issues.
2. They have certain tax benefits if you hold them beyond a year.
3. Since the ETFs are held in a Demat account, you don’t need to worry about the physical safety of the gold asset and the storage issues. ETFs are held in electronic form, so there is no possibility of theft. You don’t have to fear buying gold physically.
There is a cost to trading in ETFs on your trading account, which is usually a percentage of the investment made. You might also be charged for storing the gold in the bank vault.
For high liquidity, investors invest in ETF, and it is easy and simple to invest in this instrument. Only what you need is to have the power to bear the risk and be familiar and knowledgeable of gold as a commodity and of stock markets overall. Gold rates tend to rise and fall like other commodities due to various reasons and require regular attention, proper knowledge of market movements, and the ability to calculate pricing information.
Method of Gold mutual funds and derivatives
You can invest in mutual funds like funds (FOF) that focus on holding units of other gold-related funds. Alternatively, you can invest in a fund that owns the stocks of gold firms publicly traded on global stock exchanges.
Another option is to invest in derivatives. Overall you need to have an account with a commodities broker and pay charges on the trading. It contains high risk.

How much is gold worth?
Gold is one of the precious metals whose price generally tends to increase. It is impossible to predict the price of gold that whether it will appreciate as an asset or not as the Gold rate fluctuates constantly.
Factors affecting gold rate in Tamil Nadu
Following are the key factors that contribute to the price of gold in Tamil Nadu.
Strength of the US Dollar:
In Tamil Nadu, a strong US Dollar means lowering the value of gold rates, and then investors invest in the currency rather than in the metal. And if the dollar weakens, banks tend to invest in gold in comparison to the depreciating dollar. This step is taken to hedge against any uncertainties. Therefore the increased demand leads to an increase in the price of gold. Similarly, when the US dollar strengthens, investors shift their investments from gold to the US dollar. This fall in demand for gold leads to a consequent fall in the price.
Import costs:
Tamil Nadu meets a huge demand of its gold needs through imports; this implies that import rates affect the gold rate within the country. Since trading takes place in US dollars, a stronger dollar makes buying gold more expensive.
Fixed Deposit interest rates:
A fixed deposit is the most popular investment option for millions of Indians. Gold comes a second. When the FD rates fall, investors started investing in gold as an alternative investment option. When the demand for gold rises due to increased demand, the price increases as well.
Economic stability:
since gold is regarded as a stable commodity, its price continues to rise during periods of economic crisis. Investors are shifting their funds from riskier investment sources to gold. Gold also has a high degree of liquidity and is held in high regard during periods of turmoil.
Seasonal price:
In Tamil Nadu, demand for gold rises during auspicious festivals, marriage seasons, and other occasions, leading to increased gold rates. the general rise in demand is during the last six months when various famous festivals come around. these festivals include various regional festivals like onum, etc as well as internationally celebrated ones like Dussehra, Diwali, Christmas, etc.
Inflation:
The price of gold tends to run high during inflation. Since gold is bought as a hedge against inflation, this spiraling trend increases the price of gold. the general situation of inflation might show a different trend.
Demand-supply:
Tamil Nadu contributes just 0.75 percent of the total gold output in the world. There is a supply shortage in Tamil Nadu because domestic gold production is severely reduced. Gold is manufactured in large quantities to meet the skyrocketing demand. Similarly, when there is a shortage of gold on the global market, the gold rate increases.
Costs of mining and production:
Gold mining necessitates a high level of energy consumption per gram of gold produced, which is factored into the price. Due to rising production costs, the gold rate is also subject to rises by mining firms. This can be seen in the cost of importing gold into Tamil Nadu.
Gold rate in other countries:
When the gold rate rises on the international market, so does the price of gold in Tamil Nadu. When central banks purchase gold as a hedge against inflation, for example, the price of gold continues to rise globally.
It’s also worth noting that the gold rate in Tamil Nadu can vary significantly between cities. The following are the key reasons for variations in domestic gold rates:
Price of transportation:
The majority of Tamil Nadu’s gold is imported. As a result of the precious metal cost, port cities such as Mumbai and Chennai have marginally lower costs than cities located further away from the port.
State and local taxes:
Different states in Tamil Nadu levy different taxes, resulting in price disparities between them.
The volume of demand in different cities:
Tamil Nadu is a vast state with a diverse demographic and population. Gold is more expensive in rural areas, where the population is sparse, than in heavily populated areas, where prices are lower. Large towns, where demand is highest, exchange large quantities of gold, resulting in slightly lower prices. Cities with high gold demand, such as Chennai, Delhi, and Mumbai, have slightly lower prices than the rest of the country.
Measurement of gold
The gold weight is measured in grams or troy ounces (1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams)
What is a Karat?
The purity of gold is measured in Karat. It is a unit of fineness or purity. It is the ratio of an alloy mixed with gold, such as copper. Since pure gold is very soft, it needs to be alloyed with another metal to allow it to be made into jewelry, etc.
24 Karat gold is pure gold. Following is the fineness scale which is used while defining the purity of gold:
24 K = 99.9% Pure
22 K = 91.3% Pure
18 K = 75% Pure
14 K = 58.5% Pure
10 K = 41.7% Pure
