Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB)
All you need to know about Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB):
The smartest way to invest in gold is here. Sovereign Gold Bonds are Government of India’s securities denominated in gram of gold issued by the Reserve Bank of India. That simply means you can now invest in gold without the need to buy jewellery, gold coins or bars. Buying SGB means you are buying gold in paper or electronic (demat) form, thus getting rid of storage costs and fear of theft.
Added interest benefit: The biggest catch is that you earn interest at the rate of 2.75% p.a. on this, in addition to the appreciation of market price of gold.
What’s more: Safety is ensured because you are issued on behalf of the Government of India by the RBI. Thus, the Bonds will have a sovereign guarantee.
