Gold and Silver ETFs Surge in Assets
Gold and silver ETFs in India are growing very fast.
The money invested in these ETFs is now almost as much as the biggest stock funds.
Nippon India MF has the most, with over ₹1 lakh crore in gold and silver ETFs.
People like these ETFs because they are safe and can protect their money from ups and downs in the market.
Even banks around the world are buying more gold.
This makes gold and silver ETFs very popular.
However, after a big rise in prices, some investors are selling to make a profit, which is causing prices to go down a bit.
Experts say this is normal and expected after such a big increase.
They also think that gold prices could go even higher in the future, but there might be some ups and downs along the way.
Nippon India MF's gold and silver ETFs AUM surpassed ₹1 lakh crore, with ₹55,125 crore in gold and ₹47,392 crore in silver.
ICICI Prudential MF's gold and silver ETFs AUM totaled ₹48,165.7 crore, with ₹24,587 crore in gold and ₹23,579 crore in silver.
Top-10 gold and silver ETFs have a combined AUM of about ₹2.77 lakh crore.
Gold ETFs recorded net inflows of ₹11,647 crore in December alone.
Investors prefer gold and silver ETFs for their transparency, regulation, and as hedges against inflation and market volatility.
