Gold Exchange Traded Fund is a financial instrument that is listed and traded on the stock exchanges and represents ownership of underlying gold assets. From an Indian cultural perspective, religious occasions like Akshaya Tritiya, Navaratri, Deepawali, New Year and Dhanteras are considered to be very auspicious for buying gold. Apart from these religious occasions, Indians also buy gold on other auspicious occasions in the family like birth of the child, marriage and during Grih Pravesha etc. The enormous cultural significance of gold in the Indian culture dates back to thousands of years of history.
Broadly, mutual funds India offers two ways of investing in gold as an asset. You can buy gold in physical form as jewellery or as gold bar or coins.
