Returns from Investments in Gold have almost doubled since Jan 08 when equity markets crashed globally. Investors would have reaped good returns on rebalancing the asset allocation in equity in 2007 and including Gold in the investment portfolio. While Indian equities will provide good returns going forward, inclusion of Gold in the investment portfolio upto 5-10% can improve returns substantially. Also, investments in Gold, work as a hedge. However, as we are at a high for Gold, investing through the ETF route via a 3-5 year SIP/STP would be the right way to include the same in the investment portfolio. Other investment options are through overseas funds and commodity exchanges.
