Abstract

Gold has been one of the traditional and essential forms of asset in India; even today, gold ornaments are considered one of the
necessary investment forms as they can be pledged or converted into cash when there is a financial crunch. Gold investments in electronic
format have become popular in India from 2002 onwards. Investors always get confused on whether they should have gold in their
portfolio and whether they should have it in physical form or electronic form. Prices of gold have been fluctuating based on demand and
supply. This case study tries to analyze whether gold should be part of an investment portfolio
