"If one is looking at very long-term then E-Gold is a good option to use. If one is looking at shorter term then gold ETF would probably be a better option," he said in an interview to CNBC-TV18.
He expects gold to perform well for some more time, so he suggets investing in gold but in a systematic basis - through a gold mutual fund or E-Gold.
Below is the edited transcript of his interview on CNBC-TV18.
Q: Investment in gold appears to be in flavour. Which is a better form of holding them, is it E-gold or gold ETFs? What E-Gold actually means? Could you give us the tax implications for both?
A: E-Gold is basically provided through the National Spot Exchange platform, which is a different platform different from that of the National Stock Exchange. Any broker who is affiliated to this exchange would be able to provide the investor E-Gold.
One needs to have a demat account with that broker so that you can buy E-Gold like you would buy a stock. E-Gold is very similar to what an ETF is. The question is when to choose E-Gold? When to choose gold ETF? E-Gold is much cheaper form of investment but the disadvantage is that it is tax inefficient.

Nokia's HERE division is worth E1bn assuming a similar market cap as TomTom (TMOAF.PK) but offers significant upside as maps become the next platform for e-commerce. Assuming Nokia's net cash position declines to E2bn at Q3 from E4.1bn in Q2 (given the E1.7bn NSN deal as well as incremental cash burn due to supporting product launches), the combined value of Nokia's Net Cash, HERE division and NSN division is in line with the current market cap of Nokia.
