I see SGB as a substitute of gold for children's marriage needs in a very long term future. We will renew the SGBs as they mature. Me and wife have accumulated around 200gm of gold. Target is around 1kg in next 2-3 years.

Overall it is a bit less than 10% of total portfolio.

Interra systems. Its a small company in media domain. My profile is front end/ full stack. Yeah it will be enough. Its just a safer mode of investment for wealth accumulation.

Additionally i prefer buying actual gold coins than paper gold.

Astrological reasons aside, if the idea is gold will still be able to buy the same good and service in case of the worst case scenario (like war, govt fail etc.) that piece of paper may be worth nothing as everything has failed.

I know this is a bit out there opinion but this helps me sleeps better.

What's the use of bullion if it can't hedge you during bad times. It is oxymoronic to buy SGB to hedge yourself given the risk of pandemic, severe recession and war

All are cyclical and comes with an expiry date. Period

I hope you understand that SGB are not backed by physical gold, they are just guaranteed by GoI. There are severe liquidity concerns as well.

Better to find a trusted jeweller and buy bullion from them. No making charges, closest to market rate and very high liquidity. Plus you can use it as a collateral in the future. Worth giving up the extra 1.75% post tax.

Where do you recommend buying these from?

I have a inside contact with a famed jeweller (listed) who helps provide me bullion. I would not recommend doing this without a trusted source.
