Gold is considered a safe and reliable investment during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty. It acts as a hedge against inflation, provides strong liquidity, and helps stabilize portfolios over the long term.

Why invest in silver?

Silver remains attractive because of its dual role as a precious and industrial metal. Strong demand from India’s jewelery sector, coupled with industrial use and supply constraints, supports the long-term price outlook, while affordability makes it accessible to a greater number of investors than gold.
