Recently, the second tranche of the Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) scheme opened up for a public subscription at the issue price of Rs 4.842 per gram. The scheme will be issued by the government in six tranches from May to September 2021. Many investors are grappling with the decision of investing in different financial assets, with SGBs being one, to ensure they are not only earning profit from the investment but also safeguarding their wealth amidst the ongoing pandemic.
