Fund details

Objective

The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate returns that are in line with the performance of gold, subject to tracking errors.There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved.

Asset allocation

  • Gold# : 95% - 100%;
  • Debt Securities and Money Market Instruments, units of Debt Schemes of Mutual Funds* : 0% - 5%. #includes physical Gold and other Gold related instruments which may be permitted by SEBI from time to time as per Clause 4.2 of the Master Circular dated March 20, 2026.

*It may be noted that the margin placed for taking exposure to ETCDs are generally lower than the ETCD exposure limit considered for the purposes of monitoring investment limits and therefore, the residual cash (i.e. ETCD exposure less placement of margin towards participation in ETCDs) are placed in cash and cash equivalents in the interest of investors. The said placement in cash and cash equivalents shall not be considered as part of the limit of 0% to 5% allocated towards Debt Securities & Money Market Instruments, units of Debt Schemes of Mutual Funds. For detailed asset allocation, refer Scheme Information Document (SID) available on the website.
