    ETFs: A one-click route to diversified investing (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    What if I say that you can gain exposure to 50 or 500 stocks, a basket of commodities or even a few sectors in one click? This is what an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) offers. ETFs are traded on stock exchanges just like shares, allowing investors to buy a basket of securities in a single transaction and thereby “reduce the impact of poor performance” by any one company, unlike investing in a single share. But before jumping to buy the ETFs, it’s crucial to understand how they work? An ETF offers i

    Which Nifty is right for you? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Imagine you decide to invest in equity via an index fund. But which market are you actually buying? The 50 biggest firms? The next 50 waiting in the wings? Or, a much broader basket of 500 firms? All three are called Nifty indices, but they can give your money very different rides. So, it’s worth asking a simple question: Which one to choose? It matters because choosing an index fund is not simply a question of picking the one with more number of firms or the one with ‘bluechips’. Instead, you a

    Stagger your bonds and steady your cash flow (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Imagine reaching retirement with a bond portfolio that works like a staircase. One bond matures this year, another next year, and another the year after, giving you access to money at different points instead of having to unlock the entire investment at once. This is the idea behind a bond ladder: spreading maturities across time so your money becomes available at different points of time, while giving you opportunities to reinvest as interest rates change. The strategy is essentially a form of

    What’s behind the vault of India’s gold exchange? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The life of every Electronic Gold Receipt (EGR) begins and ends with physical gold. Between these two points lies a carefully choreographed journey. Before an EGR lands in your demat account, physical gold must first pass through a tightly regulated ecosystem that verifies the metal, creates the receipt and enables trading on the exchange.
