Having given excellent returns over the last few years, gold is now considered a necessary component of one’s investment portfolio. Gold investments could be in the form of physical gold (coins/ bars/ jewellery) or in electronic form through Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), gold futures and gold Fund-of-Funds (FoFs).
Consumers may be confused as to which is a safer option with higher return on investment (ROI). A recent article published in the Economic Times, stated that returns from gold fund-of-funds generated lower-to-flat returns for investors compared to physical gold. ICRA, a leading credit rating agency, analysed six gold FoF schemes and found that some of these funds have grossly underperformed physical gold over their periods of existence.
