Axis Mutual Fund has launched an open-ended Gold ETF, Axis Gold ETF. This is yet another Gold ETF similar to already existing Gold Bees and other ETFs. During the new fund offer (NFO) period, retail investors can apply for minimum of Rs.5,000 and multiples of Re.1.

After the NFO period, the fund will be traded on the National Stock Exchange and traded like equity shares. The fund will be open for subscription from October 20 to November 3.

Why Gold ETFs ?

Gold ETFs lets you buy Gold without the necessity of taking physical delivery and without the associated risks of physical storage and impurities.

Is Gold a good investment opportunity even at this prices?

Gold has seen a steady rise since last 5 years with an annualized return of about 24%, currently trading about Rs.2000 per gram. But over 15-20 year period it tends to average less than 10% . Currently high price rise in Gold prices is due to global risk-aversion and supply constraints, as production has dropped.

Is this price rise sustainable and how much one can invest in these funds?

For the past 2 years investments in Gold has yielded more than 50%,  this doesn't mean gold will tend to keep on rising further to get sustainable returns.  Any investment in gold can be considered as an insurance and diversification only.  Therefore investors need not allocate their entire amount or large junk of their portfolio in such Gold Funds. One could invest about 10% of their portfolio only , if they haven't already invested in earlier such schemes.

To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat.

Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

By
Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
