India's gold attachment is legendary. Whether for sentimental, emotional or strictly investment reasons, we mean gold when we accumulate gold. For many of us, the obsession of gold makes the yellow metal a priority on our shopping list in festivals. However, curiously enough, it hardly makes it to our investment portfolio. The physical gold bought by us is rarely sold in the market due to emotional attachment towards it. But if you decide to buy units in gold exchange traded fund listed on stock exchanges, it will be easier to sell them when the prices rise.

This can be achieved quite efficiently enough. It is crucial that you allocated gold as a meaningful component of your investment portfolio. An allocation to gold really helps in terms of bringing down the portfolio risk by reducing their standard deviation of the portfolio. Gold acts as insurance in difficult times when equities are not doing well. And hence it is a smart idea to buy some gold in your portfolio. Experts advocate that 5% to 15% of your portfolio should be in gold. To achieve this, one simple option available is gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) or gold ETFs as they are commonly called.

Gold ETFs provide ease of transaction, tax efficient nature, safety and small unit size such as one gram and half gram gold. But not many are aware of the fact that units of gold can be bought in a systematic manner – say one unit a month, by instructing your equity broker to that effect. There are automated gold ETF-Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) available with most equity brokers. If you do not have a demat account and a trading account do not worry, you can also go through fund of fund route to ensure that you can invest in gold ETF over a period of time. So, make the most of this route and keep adding gold to your portfolio at regular interval. This would provide a strong shield to your portfolio in times of economic slowdown.

Happy Investing!!
