Overview
The All Real Assets page allows investors to compare mutual fund and ETF structures that provide exposure to physical or commodity-linked assets, particularly precious metals within the current category structure.
These products can provide portfolio diversification, but they should not be selected simply because gold or silver has recently performed well.
Investors should compare the underlying metal, fund structure, expenses, tracking quality, liquidity, and taxation.
Explained
Within the mutual fund ecosystem, precious-metal exposure can be provided through structures such as:
Each structure can provide similar broad economic exposure while working differently operationally.
Explained
Precious-metal ETFs are generally traded on stock exchanges.
Investors buy and sell units at market prices, which can differ slightly from the scheme's NAV.
An FoF invests in units of an underlying fund or ETF.
Investors can transact with the mutual fund without necessarily trading ETF units themselves on an exchange.
Where permitted, the underlying scheme can hold physical precious metal meeting applicable regulatory requirements.
Valuation is performed according to the regulatory framework applicable to mutual funds.
Suitability
These funds may suit investors who:
Advantages
Gold and silver have different demand drivers and volatility characteristics.
The most suitable structure can depend on whether the investor wants exchange trading or mutual fund-style transactions.
Expense ratios and underlying-fund costs can affect long-term tracking.
A lower tracking difference can indicate closer replication of the underlying asset, although it should be evaluated over suitable periods.
Exchange-traded products should also be evaluated for trading liquidity and bid-ask spreads.
Before you invest
Do not buy precious metals solely because prices have recently risen.
A diversifier can become a major portfolio risk if its allocation grows too large.
Rupee movements can influence Indian precious-metal prices.
These measures help investors understand how closely a fund follows its underlying benchmark or asset.
ETF and FoF structures can have different costs and transaction mechanics.
Check the exact product rather than assuming every precious-metal fund receives identical treatment.
Taxation
Taxation depends on the actual product structure and prevailing law.
Gold ETFs, Silver ETFs, commodity FoFs, and other structures should be checked individually.
Acquisition date and statutory definitions can affect the applicable capital-gains treatment.
Investors should verify current tax provisions before comparing post-tax returns with domestic Equity Funds, physical metals, fixed deposits, or other investments.
Step by step
Good to know
The choice depends on your portfolio, risk tolerance, and objective. Gold and silver have different market drivers and should not be treated as interchangeable.
An ETF is generally traded on an exchange, while an FoF invests in underlying fund units and can be transacted through the mutual fund process.
No. Fund-based structures remove the need for the investor to personally store the underlying metal.
Yes. Both can experience significant declines and long periods of weak performance.
Tracking difference measures the difference between a fund's return and the return of the benchmark or underlying asset it seeks to track.
No. Applicable taxation should be checked for the individual product.
