Updated on January 17, 2021 , 142330 views

Gold has emerged as an important asset class in most portfolios given its ability to grow with Inflation and protect the portfolio from volatility caused due to a financial and economic crisis.

Today, gold as an investment is available in many forms such as- physical gold, E-Gold, etc. But, Gold Funds have emerged as one of the most popular routes for gold investments. So, let’s have a close look at some of the best Gold Mutual Funds to invest in 2021.

Why Gold Funds are Getting Popular?

Indians are very culturally inclined towards buying gold, whether for ornamental purposes or even for wealth creation. Also India being the country of various festivals all year round, investors always look at buying gold. While earlier physical gold used to be the choice, Gold Mutual Funds are clearly better in every aspect (except for ornamental purpose where once needs to buy physical gold), with benefits like minimum investment amount, diversification, no Demat account required, SIP growth, etc.

Gold Mutual Funds is a variant of Gold ETFs. A gold ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) is an instrument that is based on gold price or invests in gold bullion. A gold ETF specialises in Investing in a range of gold securities. Gold Mutual Funds do not directly invest in physical gold but take the same position indirectly by Investing in Gold ETFs.

Also, the minimum investment amount one would require to do in Gold Mutual Funds is of INR 1,000 (as monthly SIP). Since this investment is made through a Mutual Fund, investors can opt for systematic investments or withdrawals too. As Gold Mutual Funds units can be bought or sold from the fund house, investors do not face liquidity risks.

Top 4 Benefits of Gold Investments

Hedge Against Inflation

Gold acts as a hedge against inflation. Gold's value rises when inflation rises. During the inflationary time, gold is a more stable investment than cash.

Liquidity

Gold Investment offers investors the chance to trade it during emergencies or when they need cash. As it is fairly liquid in nature, it ensures that it is easy to sell. Different instruments offer differing levels of liquidity, Gold ETFs may be the most liquid of all options.

Offers Diversification

Gold investment can act as a safety net against market volatility. Gold investment or gold as an asset class has a low correlation with the equity or stock markets. So when the equity markets are down, your gold investment may outperform.

Valuable Asset

Gold has managed to maintain its value over time for many years. It is known as a stable investment with very steady returns. One does not expect to make very high returns in long periods by Investing in Gold but moderate returns can be expected. In certain short periods, superlative returns can also be made.

Who Can Invest Gold Mutual Funds?

Gold Mutual Funds are suited for investors who do not have a Demat Account and are not investors in stocks. Here, the fund collects money from you to invest in ETF units via the stock exchange. Since this investment is made through a Mutual Fund, investors can opt for systematic investments or withdrawals too. As Gold Mutual Fund’s units can be bought or sold from the fund house, investors do not face liquidity risks.

How are Gold MFs Taxed?

Gold mutual funds are taxed based on Capital gains made and holding period. If you are holding the fund for less than 3 years, then the capital gains will be taxed as per your income tax slab rate. And, if you've held the fund for at least 3 years, then you have to pay tax at 20%, with indexation benefits, on the Capital Gain made.
