Suitable For Which Investors?
“Gold funds provide returns that are closely in line with the returns provided by gold.
We do not think of gold as a good long-term investment avenue and therefore we believe that investors can avoid these funds altogether.
But for those retail investors who’d still prefer to invest in gold, we believe that the Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme offered by the Government of India is a better alternative. This scheme offers a guaranteed return of 2.5 per cent per year over and above the return provided by the price of gold, though the investment cannot be redeemed before a tenure of five years.”
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme seeks to provide returns that tracks returns provided by Birla Sun Life Gold ETF.
Fund Manager:
1) ) Priya Sridhar
Education: Ms. Sridhar has done B.Com and M.F.M
Experience: Prior to joining ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, she has worked with ITI Mutual Fund and LIC Housing Finance Ltd.
