investment in gold

What all should you know before considering an investment in gold?

by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Gold-Investment

Are you looking to include an investment in Gold, as a part of your asset portfolio?

When compared to the various market investments, Gold gains the highest volume in terms of market activity. We can liquidate this shiny golden resource into cash any day, any time. Investing in gold may sound pretty simple and lucrative. However before the gold mania takes you on, let us address a few queries that you as an investor must find answers to.

Why should you invest in gold?

There could be innumerable reasons behind your will to spend money on purchasing gold. Investment could be a major one. Let us find out why you should consider investing in gold.

Portfolio Diversification:
Unlike any alternative investment such as bonds or shares, the price of gold does not usually move in the same direction. It can polish your overall returns, when the same from other portfolio investments are sinking. However, investors should be cautious before too much money in purchase of this lustrous asset.

Well, the significant part here is knowing how to fit this part of investment into your financial portfolio. This is not something that should overly concern you. Always remember applying the thumb rule in this scenario. Try not to include more than 5 percent of any asset into your portfolio .

Gold can act as a shield against a weak currency:
Worldwide, gold is considered to be quite a valuable resource. Being a prized possession, gold value does not actually move in the same direction as any other currency.What does this indicate?

That even in the times of inflation, or when any of the bear market forces are trying to pull the dollar value down, gold will be one among those portfolio assets that will preserve its value and purchasing power.

What factors can drive the gold prices up?

According to investment experts, surging gold prices can be attributed to the following factors

Investors to anticipate soaring Inflation:
As mentioned earlier, gold acts as a safe hedge against inflation. This is one reason why investors look for piling gold assets, at times when they predict high inflation .

Collapsing currency value:
This is when people foresee the value of their currency (corresponding to other currencies and assets) to weaken. As a result of this, they end up purchasing gold.

Socio-Political Volatility:
We can understand this by any kind of instability experienced by the citizens of any particular country that is undergoing some crisis. This can include any social and political emergency situations like a political confrontation, or a terrorist act, or a state of war. These kinds of circumstances can also be the explanation to why people accumulate gold.

A plunge in the stock valuation:
In situations of market collapsing, investors look at purchasing gold just to be on the safer end. As a result, gold prices tend to surge.

What factors can drive the gold prices down?

Let us find out a few reasons behind descending gold prices.

When fearing low inflation:
In times of a low inflation, there is a dwindling demand for this appreciated asset. This is because at this time, people are not as bothered about the deteriorating value of their money.

A rising market for stocks and/or bonds:
Usually at a time when the securities market are performing well or are anticipated to do so, investors might be driven towards putting their money in the same. For this, they will be driven to pitch their gold stocks. Rather, they prefer to put their money into more profitable investments of the moment that is, the securities markets.

Concluding this discussion, always remember to discuss your financial plans with your advisor to ensure that it fits into your complete portfolio. Be sure you do this before investing your hard-earned money in any kind of gold assets. Like the Gold, if you would like to know the other good investment options and also to make sure these good investment options are really suitable for your financial goals or not, you can take advantage of

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
