| Sahifund Verdict | Bandhan Gold ETF FoF Direct-Growth offers investors a convenient way to participate in gold price movements through Gold ETF units. The fund suits investors seeking portfolio diversification and hedge against volatility, rather than aggressive returns. However, being a FoF, returns will closely mirror gold prices with added cost layers. Not suitable as a core long-term equity substitute. Suggested for the investors planning to park some funds in Bullion. |

Background: Mr. Jain has done BA, CA, Prior to joining Bandhan MF he was associated with Groww MF, Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance, Acko General Insurance and Shriram Asset Management Co Ltd.
Bandhan Gold ETF FoF Direct-Growth is an open-ended commodity fund aiming for capital appreciation by investing in units of Gold ETFs, thereby tracking domestic gold prices. The NFO opens on 12 January 2026 and closes on 20 January 2026, with a minimum investment of Rs. 1,000. Categorised under Commodities: Gold, the fund carries a High risk rating and is benchmarked to the Domestic Price of Gold.
Gold has traditionally acted as a store of value and a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and geopolitical risks, making it a useful diversification tool in volatile markets. However, gold prices are influenced by global interest rates, dollar movement, central bank actions, and demand-supply dynamics, leading to cyclical returns. The scheme is managed by Abhishek Jain, who has a reasonable track record in passive and ETF-oriented strategies. Given the absence of long-term fund-specific performance data and the cost structure of FoF products, Sahifund Verdict remains ‘Small Allocation’, suggesting investors should allocate only a limited portion for tactical or diversification purposes.
