CRISIL Research, India?s largest independent and integrated research house, today announced the launch of the CRISIL Gold Index. The index will track the performance of gold prices in the domestic market. The objective of CRISIL Gold index is to provide an independent and relevant benchmark for performance evaluation of investment products with gold as underlying investment. This is the first index introduced by CRISIL in the commodities space and the ninth ovever the past two years.

Since the global credit crisis of 2008 Mujer Nike Epic React Flyknit Triple Negras Baratas , gold has been consistently outperforming the equity market and eliciting enhanced investor interest. Between August 2008 and July 2011, gold has given an annualized return of 22.91% compared to 9.3% by S&P CNX Nifty. According to Mukesh Agarwal, Senior Director ? CRISIL Research, ?Gold is considered to be one of the safest havens for investments. Typically, during uncertain times Mujer Nike Epic React Flyknit Blancas Baratas , gold acts as an effective hedge.? The strong performance by gold has also coincided with the introduction of Gold Exchange Traded Funds (Gold ETFs) and Gold Fund of Funds (Gold FoFs) in India. The objective of these funds is to provide returns that closely correspond to the returns delivered by gold as an asset class. While the first Gold ETF in the country was launched in March 2007, the product has gained momentum only over the past two years.

The average assets under management (AUM) under this category have grown exponentially from Rs. 0.96 billion in March 2007 to Rs. 60 billion as on June 2011. Currently 11 asset management companies offer 11 Gold ETFs and three Gold FoFs in India. ?When compared with holding physical gold, gold ETFs provide investors with various benefits like affordability, guaranteed purity, high liquidity Nike Air Max 2 Uptempo Baratas , transparent pricing and low holding cost. These benefits along with the tax advantage make gold ETFs a more efficient way of owning gold,? added Mr. Agarwal. Globally, AUM of Gold ETFs has grown over USD 100 bn as on June 2011 as against USD 14 bn in April 2007.

According to Tarun Bhatia, Director - Capital Markets, ?CRISIL Gold Index is an attempt to address this inconsistency and will serve as an independent and common benchmark for evaluating the performance of gold ETFs. The index construction methodology adopted by CRISIL is in line with the valuation guideline prescribed by Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for Gold ETFs.? The CRISIL Gold index has a base date of 02 January Nike SB Zoom Blazer Baratas , 2007 and is based on the landed price of 10 grams of gold in Mumbai.

Have you ever thought about a second home in an area with a seaside view and warm weather? Many people plan of buying a second home in Mexico, after paying off the mortgage of their first home. Cancun, Mexico is one such place, that you may consider for buying a second home and with slowdown in the housing market, even prime locations are easily affordable and within the reach for anyone who has a stable job. And homes that are nearer to lakes Nike Zoom VaporFly Baratas , mountains and beaches are always a good investment. You can sell these homes with a good profit in future, when the market conditions are normal or at peak.

But before finalizing the deal, it would be good that you check out area around your property thoroughly, as many vacation destinations are marooned and lonely and hence quite depressing during the off season. If you want a home at a silent area then its fine, otherwise you need to make it sure that the property you are considering for buying is a bit lively even during the off peak season. If you plan to resell the property for making profit Nike Zoom Vapor Street Flyknit Baratas , then ensure that the area you are investing is attractive, has all amenities and facilities even during the off periods.

The common mistake often repeated by many is to invest on the cheapest property that is available in the market but these may not be a good investment. Your choice should be determined by what suits your requirement and budget. You should not ever buy something just because it sounds cheap.
