Gold ETF funds — FAQs
What is the difference between a gold ETF and a gold fund-of-fund?
A gold ETF trades on an exchange and needs a demat account. A gold fund-of-fund buys that ETF on your behalf and is bought like any mutual fund, with no demat account required, but it adds a small extra layer of cost.
Why are these ranked on cost rather than return?
These funds track a metal price. Their return is the metal’s return, not the fund manager’s, so ranking them by return mostly ranks the period you happened to measure. What a fund can actually control is its cost and how closely it tracks the metal.
How are gold and silver funds taxed in India?
Taxation of these schemes has changed more than once in recent years and depends on the scheme’s structure and your holding period. Check the current rules or a tax adviser before investing — we do not provide tax advice.
