Gold has been Pakistanis' favourite store of value for centuries. With prices crossing Rs. 285,000 per tola, here's how modern investors can access gold beyond jewellery.
Physical Gold
Traditional approach — buy from trusted jewellers. Watch for making charges (8-15%) that eat into returns.
Digital Gold
JazzCash and select fintechs now offer fractional gold from Rs. 100, stored in insured vaults.
Gold Mutual Funds
Meezan Gold Fund and other Shariah-compliant options invest in international gold markets. Great for systematic investment.
Financial advisors recommend limiting gold to 10-15% of your total portfolio.
