ETF

Now Indians can buy ETFs in foreign markets like American Stock Exchange. ETFs can be bought through www.firstrade.com
Gold can be bought online without really buying gold. Please visit: www.e-gold.com You can sell gold by buying a debit card linked to your e-gold account. This is easier method than mutual fund.

There is no problem with ETFs in American Stock Exchange. But dont invest in HYIP's which are scams. E-gold is safe.

Gold MF
by Allahbux Rashid on Feb 08, 2007 04:26 PM

One reason why gold sales could not take off from banks was there was a sales tax component in the sale of gold which the next door jeweler does not charge. Will the Gold MF price of one gram of gold would be inclusive of sales tax?

Gold purity at entry and exit stages should be defined. Will there be any additional charges for better impurity at the time of redemption? Who will certify the purity and what documentation would be made available for the purity? Are the MF houses capable of handling gold relates issues?

These are some issues to be addressed.

Purity of Gold at the time of selling
by akhil patil on Feb 08, 2007 02:58 PM  | Hide replies

Hi,

I would like to ask all of you, what will be the composition of Gold i.e 24c, 20c etc, I will be buying when I am purchasing GETF. Vice versa at the time of selling what is the purity of gold I will receive?


This is certainly a question since many of us dont possess gold in the form of biscuits or bricks, but oranments and coins. Ornaments can not be prepared with 24c as it is too delicate to use.

Also, I have some more questions:
1. When I invest in mutual fund, I get some tax benifit for it?
2. Who decides the gold exchange rate?
3. Will the local gold rates will be different from international gold exchange rate?

Please let me know.

Akhil

hi akhil,
The purity will be mentioned when you buy or sell the gold, GETF wil ensure you get the mentioned purity of gold..
1. No Tax Benifits in particular but you can claim rebate under the limit of 1 lakh rs of investment
2. Its decided by the International Gold Exchange market depending on demand and supply
3. No, It wont be different

this is a commodity mutual fund, why not jewellry - value added?
by brijesh mathur on Feb 08, 2007 02:11 PM  | Hide replies

Gold in India is lying dormant in peoples' lockers. Inheritance, high value, no productive use, designs getting obsolete and have little choice of changing. Easily identifiable, loosing fashion value.

Is it not posssible to have a Combination - Bank/Retail shop/Mutual fund ?

Deposit your jewellry. Get it evaluated, get Jewellry Mutual Fund bonds. Travel to any other "Combination - Bank/Retail shop/Mutual fund" outlet and convert bond with jewellry.

Let there be a process of valuation, and compute transaction loads for different kinds of transactions.

This is a model that has MUCH wider potential of tapping dormant gold (jewellry) stock, value addition for the institution, benefits to the consumers.
