Dear neeraj_saini441
Presently thers are five Gold ETFs in India.

Gold Benchmark ETF
Kotak Gold ETF
Reliance Gold ETF
UTI Gold ETF
Quantum Gold ETF

you can invest in any one of them. Return from all Gold ETFs are almost same.each gold ETFs unit are approx worth 1 gm of of gold price.These are open ended funds and hence can be purchased any day at NAV + appliacble load if any.Almost all Gold ETFs have been launched recently so they dont have any history as such.expense ratio of all ETFs are 1%. minimum investment amt in Benchmark Gold is 10000, in UTI ETF it is 20000 whereas in all other ETFs it is 5000 only.

You need to have a Demat account for purchasing Gold ETFs and tax treatment of all these funds are just like a debt fund. As such LTCG Tax will be applicable.

hi,

i am trading online from sometime and had account with ICICI , but the brokerage charges are quite high.
I am trying to find a better alternative. requesting the comments from the investors as well as traders about there experience and choices:

The Requirements are:

1. Low account opening charges and yearly maintainence. No hidden cost.

2. Competetive brokerage both in cash and fno (one of the broker has given me 20 paisa - delivery and 2 paisa - intra day , but minimum brokerage is Rs 25)

3. Facility to place orders before opening the market. (ICICI has this facility -- order is shown in que-- . icici also allows u to place basket order i.e. 2-3 scrips at the same time)

4. Trade execution and rate updates to be reasonablly fast.

5. Good research reports.

6 Assurance that the funds (inflow and outflow) is correctly calculated. as i have never checked that in last years. there are lot of deductions happen apart from the contract note like the intra depaository chareges etc. ...

The First Job- The first job for any individual marks a turning point in his life. The first paycheck acts as a gateway to new opportunities and of course, financial independence.

It could also mean preparing to shoulder responsibilities, if your family budget is in need of augmentation.

Even if you are not required to contribute, you still owe it to yourself to handle your finances with care.


Insure yourself---------The first thing that you need to look at once you get your salary is insurance — for yourself as well as your dependants. “You should opt for a term insurance cover now that you have a steady stream of income. If you buy a life cover at a young age, you will have to pay lower premiums. The value of the cover can be 10 times your annual cost-to-company (CTC),” said PARK Financial Advisors’ director Swapnil Pawar. Life insurance premium paid is eligible for tax deduction under Section 80 C, but protection, and not tax benefits, should be the criterion for taking such decisions.

However, according to My Financial Advisor’s director Amar Pandit, there is no need to get a life insurance policy in the first year of worklife if you have no dependants. You would be better off acquiring a mediclaim with a cover of Rs 3 lakh-5 lakh, he says. Even if your organisation offers a health cover, it would still be worthwhile to sign up for a standalone policy. In addition, you can claim a deduction of up to Rs 15,000 under Section 80 D on health insurance premiums. You can get a health cover for your parents. It entitles you to an additional tax deduction of up to Rs 15,000.


Avoid loans------------Next, you need to guard against the temptation to borrow funds to purchase cars, bikes or consumer durables.

You should leave such decisions for the second year if not later, feel financial advisors. “Consumption loans are not a good idea.

Also, if at all you have any surplus left after addressing your needs, it is advisable to avail of a home loan jointly with your parent/s,” adds Mr Pandit.


Strive to save----------If you are single and living by yourself with a monthly income of less than Rs 25,000, your target savings rate can be 40%, while it can be 50% for those earning Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000.

For people with an income of above Rs 50,000, the ideal savings rate would be 60%,” explains Mr Pawar. A part of the savings could go towards building a corpus for meeting emergency needs.


Investing small sums------------Ideally, you should direct a minimum of 25% of your gross income towards investments,” advises Mr Pandit. If you are jittery about dealing in equities, you could put small amounts of money into PPF and fixed deposits.

While FDs can yield a return of around 10% at the moment, you should go for them only if you fall in the no-tax or low-tax brackets. PPF, which carries a return of 8% p.a, offers tax breaks under Section 80 C. Investing small sums on a regular basis could result in a sizeable corpus over a period of time.

If you invest Rs 5,000 every month in a PPF, your kitty would swell to Rs 17.40 lakh after 15 years. The returns are certainly not comparable to those offered by equities, but it is better than letting your money lie idle in a savings account.

Target savings----------However, your risk-taking capacity would be high when you are in your 20s. Investing in equities — either directly or through mutual funds — could be your best bet. “To start with, you need to invest 80% of your target savings in three equity mutual funds through the SIP route,” suggests Mr Pawar.

If you stay invested with a long-term view, equities can offer you far better returns than other avenues.

Besides, investments of up to Rs 1 lakh in some equity MF schemes — equity-linked saving schemes (ELSS) — are eligible for deduction under Section 80 C, thus presenting you with the dual benefit of tax-saving as well as investment.

Dear Nodick,
First of all, I will request you to mind your language and don't use harsh or bad words.

Dear Neeraj,
Go ahead for DSPML World Gold Fund and AIG Gold Funds with equil ratio.
Make it 5-10% of your folio, just to diversify.
Else, for long run, Equity returns outclass all types of investments....

Again you idiot started to invest in gold and gold will correct heavily. Mr Shrikant I m surprised how can you advise others when yourself is big dumb in investment

Are you still holding the stocks you mentioned? There is something called stop loss in investment terms. I am afraid you are not familiar with this term. You have entered at the time market was at its peak & in most of the cases I do not see any likelihood of those levels to return in the next one year excepting Reliance. What is the fun in investing in small quantities in 21 stocks? For a person like you it would have been better to invest in mutual funds. Even now it is not late.

I had sent my voter I card, Pan card and all the documents required for the issue of No objection certificate for the termination of Hire Purchase agreement. Many days have passed by, but I have not succeeded in getting the NOC from your Institution. I , don’t understand the reason for the delay. It is said that that your organization is best among all the Financial Institutions, but I have had a bitter experience. I have been trying to get the NOC from last four months, but have not succeeded till date.

How long I have to wait or to whom should I contact. I am in great trouble. I once again request you to look into it and arrange to issue me Hire purchase termination Letter as soon as possible.

Thanking you,


Yours Truly

Dear Neeraj,
Instead of Gold ETFs you better invest in AIG world Gold Fund or DSPML World Gold Fund for better returns.
These funds invest in Gold Mining Stocks worldwide and have typically given returns above that of Gold. And moreover, you don't need a Demat Account for buying the fund.
Read more about these funds from my previous messages or in my blog goodfundadvisor dot blogspot dot com...

Dear neeraj saini441, To invest in Gold ETFs (GETFs), first u should have a demat account. If u don't have one already, open the same with any DP with a trading account & a bank account for financial transaction. Once ur demat & trading accounts r open, u may purchase or sell the GETF units all thru the day just like any other share listed on market. At present following AMCs r offering GETFs in india. Normally a unit of GETF represents 1 gm. of gold price.

1. Benchmark
2. UTI
3. Relaince
4. Kotak
5. Quantum

Thanks
