While market-linked investments can offer attractive returns, and the risk that one takes investing into them can be rewarding; not every investor is cut out for it.

If you are the kind of investor who stays clear of risk, government offerings such as Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) and  are safer investment options that you can consider. They are low on risk, make for good investment option with the discounts available online and offer good returns in the long term. They also help diversify your portfolio and mitigate the component of risk.

1). SGB offers the flexibility of holding gold in demat form, without having to buy or store gold in its physical form. The bonds are denominated in units of one gram of gold and its multiples thereof and have an eight year tenure with an exit option from the fifth year onwards.

Further, the Government offers a discount of ₹50/- per gram for investors purchasing gold through the digital mode. You are assured of the market value of gold at the time of maturity and interest @2.5% pa.
