Silver as an investment

Silver is the second most used metal in the world, finding applications in multiple industries, making it a sound investment choice. Being a natural resource, there is limited supply of this precious metal and with demand increasing on a daily basis it becomes a boon for owners.

In India, gold is beyond the budget of most households, which then start investing in silver, making it an integral component of most family heirlooms. Residents of Assam who wish to invest in silver can do so in two ways, either by participating in market trade through silver contracts or buying silver in its physical form directly.

Silver contracts - Silver contracts and futures are the latest means of investing in silver, with their trade restricted to the National Multi Commodity Exchange, the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) and the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX).

Such investments are yet to find favour among the major portion of the population, with only those aware of market functioning opting for them.

Investing in silver through these means requires knowledge and it could be a fast way to enhance your profits.

Physical silver - Silver has been handed down from generation to generation and is considered a family heirloom. This emotional attachment has raised the value of silver in our hearts, and residents of Assam are known to purchase silver to continue this tradition. Silver jewellery, coins, bars and utensils are some of the popular modes of silver purchases. Coins and bars are typically more pure and are a smarter investment option compared to jewellery, which typically have a lot of wastage and making charges involved. Silver can be purchased from banks and jewellers across the state, with different shops catering to different budgetary requirements.
