How can I invest in Digital Gold?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores various ways to invest in digital gold and silver. Options include directly through apps like Paytm or bank platforms, investing in Gold Bees offered by AMC companies, or purchasing Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) issued by the government. SGBs are highlighted as a secure, risk-free option offering annual interest and capital appreciation, with no capital gains tax if held to maturity. Other platforms like IIFL Securities also offer digital gold purchases starting from INR 1.

THats why I referred the yield curves for analysis purposes. It is a simple philosophy 

that will be available to read on the Internet right?

Oh yes. There are different versions about it. When I will call me across that blog,I’ll send pm. https://gocardless.com/guides/posts/what-is-yield-curve-why-need-to-know/

 

This is also a good and informative applicable worldwide

You were interested in buying bonds recently right, there is one more ratio for that and use, confidence index formula, P/E ratio, expected return on company stock= expected share price+current intrinsic share price-expected dividend/ current share price. 

IMO the best way to invest in digital gold is through sovereign gold bonds. On top of the capital appreciation and security, we'll also get 2.5% interest income(taxable) every year, no capital gain tax if you hold it till maturity, zero management fee, and you can even use it as collateral for loans. So I would always go with sovereign gold bond when it comes to gold, preferably bought from secondary market.

So many advantages it definitely has from above. The problem is, only Dow Jones has bond confidence index and cfa people follow them from India. How is this possible to know if that is accurate? India has only business and consumer confidence index. But I guess you can calculate this on your own by taking average yield of top ten trading gold bonds divided by top 40 low grade gold bonds. Indian version is different, they take average of ten top quality yield averages and ten low quality yield averages. Divide both of them. That gives the confidence and it is not a big deal to understand because quality bonds are always traded at high yeikds. @ Adithyan R do you have any better decision making philosophies when you make investments? Txs.

Can you explain this in more detail?

 

They say India has a formula to check investor confidence. 

Let’s say we calculated average yield of 10 AAA rated papers (no option) and 10 A rates papers of 10Y maturity. AAA average yield came in at 8% and A average yield came at 9.5% then confidence index will be calculated as follows:

BCI = (8/9.5)*100 = 84

If your ultimate objective is to invest in gold then SGB i.e. Sovereign Gold Bond is a much better option. It will also pay interest to you @ 2.5% p.a. and at the end of the tenure you will get back the amount you had invested along with the appreciation in gold prices. The holding period is long though at 8 years but from 5th year onwards you can sell the bond on the exchange without any penalty.
