The Free Press Journal - Indore
|October 14, 2025
During the festive season of Diwali, investors are faced with one key question: should they buy gold or invest in stocks? Over the past year, gold has delivered nearly 50% returns, while the Nifty50 has remained almost flat.
In India, gold ETFs like GOLDBEES have generated around 55% returns in one year, making gold the best-performing asset class of 2025. Over the last 10-15 years, Nifty50 ETFs have delivered a CAGR of 12-15%, whereas golds long-term CAGR has been around 8-9%. According to analysts, companies increase earnings, pay dividends, and benefit from India’s growing economy, while gold primarily preserves value during periods of uncertainty.
