This Festive Season Invest In Gold ETFs

Posted On Wednesday, Sep 08, 2021

With the news of mutant Coronavirus variants and social distancing protocols still in place, the festive season might be muted for the second year in a row. However, Indians have preserved the tradition of buying Gold during the festive & wedding season as a symbol of auspiciousness ushering in prosperity for the future. This is because we have understood the intrinsic value of the yellow metal and gold’s capacity for long-term store of value.


A safer way to invest in gold in the new normal might be to invest digitally. One of the innovative ways to invest in gold digitally is a Gold ETF (Exchange Traded Fund). As seen in the infographic below, a Gold ETF has several advantages over physical gold. Firstly, it does away with pricing markups due to making charges associated with physical gold. You do not have to go through the hassle of finding adequate storage and pay hefty locker charges. The fund takes care of all these things. Gold ETFs track the domestic price of Gold and is backed by physical gold.


Let’s understand how this compares to other forms of investing in Gold.

Since Gold prices have corrected from the highs touched in 2020, you can use the correction to build your allocation to gold. We believe that the fundamentals that uphold long-term value continue to remain strong which include:


As you see in the illustrations above, Gold ETF has several advantages that surpasses physical gold and other forms of Gold investments. To elucidate, here’s how Gold ETF compares to two popular digital assets in Gold; Sovereign Gold Bond and Digital Gold.

Sovereign Gold Bond

While Sovereign Gold Bonds are securities issued by the RBI on behalf of the Government, it helps you build wealth and receive interest income. However, it comes with a lock-in of 8 years, making it a relatively illiquid option when you need money.

Digital Gold

Recently, NSE has restricted the sale of digital gold by stockbrokers, stating that it does not come under the definition of securities. Though there are many similarities to Gold ETFs, the primary difference is that digital gold is unregulated.

So it goes without saying that that glitters are not gold. Two of the most innovative ways of investing in Gold this festive season are the Gold ETF and Gold Mutual Fund or Fund of Funds which invest in Gold.

Here are the advantages of investing in the Quantum Gold ETF and the Quantum Gold Savings Fund that invests in the Quantum Gold ETF.
