Trade against Demat Shares

Adventures India offers you to get more out of your existing portfolio through its “Trade Against Shares” product. “Trade Against Shares” allow you to take advantage of investment opportunities in the commodity market without the involvement of fresh funds. One can use the shares in his current portfolio to take larger positions in the commodity market. However the MTM has to be settled on daily basis.

If utilized properly, this product can help unlock the value of Securities and provide customers with the much-needed liquidity during pressing times.

 

Demat Gold

Investors can now buy, hold and trade gold in demat erialised form without having to worry about parking it in a vault for its safe-keeping. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), in association with the World Gold Council, has launched a new product - a gold contract that is settled in a week (T+7). Being a member of MCX, Adventures India provides the platform to trade on.

"Within the framework of Forward Contracts Regulation Act and with the support of Forward Markets Commissions, we have started a T+7 gold contract that would result in a weekly delivery bringing much awaited certainty in the gold futures.

Prior to the launch of this product, investors could get exposure to gold through commodity exchanges by only buying gold futures. Now, they can get exposure to gold through a one-week contract, which is closer to a spot market.

How to invest in gold

Buying gold in physical form-bars and coins-is an outdated option, fraught with issues including purity, liquidity, secure storage, and so on. The best option is to buy a listed exchange-traded gold fund ( ETF) from the commodity market. All you need is a demat account and a commodity trading account with us.

Gold ETFs are traded close to real-time gold prices in the market, that is, ETF prices move up and down with the market price of gold in the conventional marketplace. You'd hold gold in demat form in your demat account, just as you hold shares. If you decide to sell your ETF units, you'd do so through us and the charges would be the same as what you paid while buying the ETF. Thus an ETF is very convenient, and you need not worry about the purity of the gold, secure storage, insurance against theft, and so on.

What about physical gold?

Perhaps you're one of those parents who keep buying gold over the years, for possible use to make jewellery when your son or daughter gets married. You may be wondering how a gold ETF would help you do that. Well, it's still the best option for you because of the factors discussed above. You can buy gold ETF units now at the current price of gold, hold them in your demat account, and sell them in the future, whenever you want, and use the money to buy jewellery then. In this way, you will be protecting yourself from rising gold prices, while also sparing yourself anxiety about the purity and safety of your gold. You can keep accumulating gold at a slow rate, perhaps even few grams at a time.

We appreciate your interest in Adventure India and welcome the opportunity to establish a long and prosperous business relationship.
