Are you looking to invest in gold but don't know where to start? In this video, I'll cover 5 different options for investing in gold in India: Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB), Digital Gold, Gold ETF, Gold Mutual Fund and Physical Gold. I'll be discussing the pros and cons of each option in a comparison format as we look at how each of these gold instruments measure on the basis of its availability, risk, returns, costs, minimum requirement, liquidity and taxation. This information will act like the ultimate gold investment guide to you which'll help you make an informed decision about how to invest in gold irrespective of whether you are a beginner or an experienced investor

The 5 gold investment options I have covered in this video includes:
1. Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) are government securities denominated in grams of gold and its value is pegged to the price of gold in the domestic Indian market. SGBs are rather popular in India as they come with low risk and offer an interest of 2.5% per annum which none of the other gold products offer
2. Digital Gold is an easy and convenient way to buy and sell gold online. It offers 99.9% purity of gold and can be bought from many financial apps. The big risk with digital gold (or e-gold as it is sometimes called) is that it lacks regulatory oversight (RBI and SEBI don't regulate digital gold currently)
3. Gold ETFs are exchange-traded funds that invest in physical gold and can be bought from your trading account. These can be bought during trading hours and carry an expense ratio of 0.5 to 0.7%
4. Gold Mutual Funds are professionally managed funds that invest in various gold-related assets, primarily gold ETFs
5. Physical Gold is the traditional form of holding gold which includes jewellery, coins, bars, bullion etc. Indian households own a lot of physical gold and it is estimated that they hold over 25,000 tons of gold which is about 12% of all the gold that has been mined since the start of mankind
