Gold has surged to fresh record highs amid escalating geopolitical tensions, reaffirming its role as a hedge against uncertainty. Indians have traditionally saved in gold, whether as jewelry or bullion, as a store of wealth and a safeguard against volatility. Today, this tradition can be adapted to modern standards through physical gold funds in India, including USD-denominated options in GIFT City. Systematic investments in these funds smooth out market volatility, provide currency diversification, and preserve long-term wealth, transforming a time-honored practice into a disciplined, strategic allocation for contemporary portfolios.
