Five markets.
One holding period for each.
A scalp lives for seconds. A sovereign gold bond matures in eight years. We run both, and we do not confuse the two.
Portfolio Management & Diversification
Building and maintaining a mix of investments across different asset classes so that no single market decides your outcome.
How this desk worksVery short-term trades that aim to capture small price moves, plus offsetting positions that limit how much a portfolio can lose.
Actively buying and selling crypto assets on exchanges, holding positions for days or weeks rather than minutes or years.
Running specialised computers that process transactions on the Bitcoin and Ethereum Classic networks, and are paid in newly issued coins for doing so.

Three different ways to own gold — an exchange-traded futures contract, a government bond that pays interest on top of the gold price, and physical metal.

The portfolio decides how big everything else gets
Each desk has a different job and a different appetite for loss. The portfolio mandate sets the ceiling for the speculative ones, in writing, before any capital moves.

Drawn on a logarithmic scale: each labelled step is roughly sixty times the one before it. A scalp and a sovereign gold bond are the same business only in the sense that both involve money.

What it costs here
The same metal plus 6% import duty and 3% GST. Neither comes back when you sell.
That difference is why the gold desk routes a holding through futures, a Sovereign Gold Bond or physical metal depending on how long you intend to hold it — the wrapper changes what you pay to get in and what you keep on the way out. It is an estimate built from published levy rates, not a quoted dealer price, and a jeweller adds making charges on top of it.

Start with a conversation, not a product
The first call is about your circumstances — what you already hold, what the money is for, and how much of a fall you could absorb without changing your plans. We recommend nothing until we know that.
