With uncertainties in the world - economics and geopolitics - investors having medium to long-term outlooks can have <keyword id="18712" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gold" source="Orion">gold</keyword> and silver in their portfolio, said <keyword id="46252" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="motilal-oswal" source="Orion">Motilal Oswal</keyword> Financial Services Ltd. A 20 per cent allocation to gold exchange-traded funds (ETF) in an investment portfolio during Diwali is ideal, said <keyword id="594214" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="quantum-amc" source="Orion">Quantum AMC</keyword>. Geopolitics, the Central bank's action and inflationary concerns are themes that are not only driving precious metals but also triggering volatility in other asset classes, said Motilal Oswal in a report. The <keyword id="6356435" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="us-federal-reserve" source="Orion">US Federal Reserve</keyword> is rushing to raise interest rates at an aggressive pace with an objective to tame inflation. On the other hand, geo-political tensions between Russia-Ukraine and other economies continue to increase distress in the economy. All this is raising questions regarding the pace of global growth, institutions like IMF have also lowered their projections on the same. Pointing out India as one of the largest consumers of gold and silver, Motilal Oswal said there has been a lot of development, especially on the domestic front which is supporting prices. "Government initiatives like setting up GIFT city, signing an FTA (free trade agreement) between <keyword id="6358356" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="uae" source="Orion">UAE</keyword> and India, (implies that about 200 tonnes of gold will be imported from UAE at 1 per cent tariff rate quota-TRQ) and changes in import duty," the company said. This year macro factors will have an upper hand over the move in metal prices, as a tighter monetary policy scenario is not a great phase for non-yielding asset gold, the report said. The gold price trend is caught between the tussle of bulls and bears. Extreme negatives do trigger bargain buying for gold and so it is important for medium to long-term investors to see a broader picture, Motilal Oswal said. Except for a few dips, the overall trend for gold has remained positive, and the returns also are quite decent, the company added. The company has suggested accumulation of gold at Rs 46,800-Rs 47,500 with a medium-term target of Rs 53,000 and a long-term target of Rs 58,000 with an expected upside of 8-17 per cent. In the case of silver, Motilal Oswal said the accumulation zone will be Rs 53,500-Rs 54,000 with a medium-term target of Rs 64,500 and a long-term target of Rs 73,000 with an expected upside of 13-28 per cent. According to Quantum AMC, the correction in the gold prices from the peak has made the metal affordable this festive season. "To make the most of the correction, we recommend investing in efficient products such as gold ETFs (exchange-traded funds) to maximize the benefits," Quantum AMC said. Owning physical gold comes with additional costs such as making charges, retail premiums, storage concerns, and lower buyback value. On its part, Emkay Global Financial Services in a report said the current weakness in gold may continue till there is more concrete information on the state of the economy in the major economies, especially against the background of an aggressive central bank trade-off unfavourable to growth and promoting stability. Generally, gold is considered as a hedge against inflation but this time around it does not seem so.

'Gold and Silver for medium to long term as investment'

New Delhi, Feb 28 () Markets regulator Sebi on Friday slapped a fine of Rs 17 lakh on Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd for failing to comply with Sebi's circular that mandated stock brokers to segregate the funds and securities of the clients. The order follows an inspection conducted by Sebi between April 2012 to March 2014. The Securities and Exchange Board of India found that there were instances where the broker had indulged into intermingling or misuse of clients' funds. The broker utilised the credit balance lying in the clients' bank account towards meeting its own or other clients' obligations. "Instances of misutilisation of funds of the clients on 11 sample days out of the 20 sample days represent approximately 55 per cent of the sample dates selected by the inspection team," the order said. The amount of misutilisation was in the range of Rs 5.01 crore to Rs 102.06 crore for the sample dates, it added. "The Noticee (Motilal Oswal) has failed to maintain segregation of client's funds, and further misused the clients' funds, thereby violating the provisions of the Sebi circular ...dated November 18, 1993," Sebi said. As per the regulator's circular issued in November 1993, the stock brokers shall keep the money of the clients in a separate account and their own money in a separate account. Besides, no payment for transactions in which the member broker is taking a position as a principal will be allowed to be made from the client's account. Since Motilal Oswal Financial Services failed to comply with the regulator's circular, monetary fine has been levied by the regulator. SRS SHWSHW
