National Spot Exchange, an online exchange, is providing investors the option of converting their demat gold investments into gold coins of one gram.
Mr Anjani Sinha, Managing Director, NSEL said the latest move to allow “e-Gold delivery” in one gm denominations will attract more retail investors.
This facility is currently offering options of 8 gms, 10 gms, 100 gms and 1 kg lots.
NSEL launched the e-Series products, starting with e-Gold, in March 2010, to meet the growing demand from the retail segment to divest part of their investment portfolio into commodities. The Exchange has since added other facilities such as e-Silver, e-Copper, e-Zinc, e-Lead and e-Nickel over the last two years.
e-gold has enabled retail investors to deposit small savings in frequent intervals in precious metals such as gold and silver. Since the launch of this product, e-Gold has given returns of 67 per cent.
