Frequently Asked Questions
Gold is a reliable store of value and a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and geopolitical uncertainty. In India, it holds strong cultural significance and acts as an emergency asset. However, gold does not generate regular income like FDs or dividends and incurs storage and making charges for physical gold. It is best used as a 5-15% allocation within a diversified portfolio, not as a primary investment. Use the free Gold Investment Calculator on AbacusHand to calculate your exact result instantly.
Gold in India has delivered approximately 10-13% CAGR over the past 10 years (2015-2025), driven by global price appreciation and INR depreciation against USD. In 2020, gold surged over 28% in a single year amid pandemic uncertainty. Over 20 years (2005-2025), gold CAGR has been approximately 13-14%. While impressive, equity mutual funds have historically outperformed gold over 10+ year periods with 12-16% CAGR.

Over a 10-year horizon, a Rs 5,000/month SIP in a diversified equity mutual fund (assuming 12% CAGR) grows to approximately Rs 23.2 lakh on Rs 11.6 lakh invested. The same monthly amount in gold (10% CAGR) grows to approximately Rs 10.3 lakh. Equity SIPs generally outperform gold over long periods, but gold provides stability during market crashes. The ideal approach is to hold both: equities for growth and gold for protection. Use the free Gold Investment Calculator on AbacusHand to calculate your exact result instantly.
Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) are issued by RBI on behalf of the Government of India. They track gold prices and pay an additional 2.5% annual interest on the issue price. SGBs have no storage risk, no making charges, and long-term capital gains (after 8 years) are tax-exempt. Physical gold incurs 3% GST on purchase, making charges (8-25%), and storage costs. For investors who want gold exposure without physical risks, SGBs are clearly superior. Use the free Gold Investment Calculator on AbacusHand to calculate your exact result instantly.
Most financial advisors recommend allocating 5-15% of your investment portfolio to gold for diversification. On a Rs 10 lakh portfolio, keeping Rs 75,000-1.5 lakh in gold (via SGBs or Gold ETFs) provides a hedge without over-concentrating in a non-income-generating asset. Young investors (under 35) can stay at the lower end (5-8%), while those approaching retirement may increase gold to 10-15% for capital preservation.
