Bandhan Mutual Fund has announced the launch of Bandhan Gold ETF FoF and Bandhan Silver ETF FoF, two open-ended schemes designed to provide investors with an easy, transparent, and cost-efficient way to participate in gold and silver.

The new fund offers or NFOs of both the funds are open for subscription and will close on January 20.

“Gold and silver can play a meaningful role in portfolio diversification, but the way investors access these assets matters. Physical metal often brings uncertainties around purity, making charges, storage, and resale, while ETFs require demat accounts that many investors still do not use. The Fund of Fund (FoF) structure removes barriers such as demat requirements, lowers the entry point to Rs 1,000, and enables disciplined investing through SIPs starting at Rs 100,” said Vishal Kapoor, CEO, Bandhan AMC.

“Bandhan Gold ETF FoF and Bandhan Silver ETF FoF combine the assurance and transparency of ETFs with the simplicity of mutual fund investing. Investors can now participate in the resilience of gold and the structural industrial demand for silver through a liquid, transparent format. These offerings are designed to make precious metal investing easier, smarter, and more accessible for a much wider audience,” Kapoor added.
