At Sanchay Karo, we are committed to helping you build a well-rounded, resilient investment portfolio. While equities offer growth, fixed income provides stability, there is one asset class that has stood the test of time as a hedge against uncertainty—Gold.
We are excited to introduce a new investment opportunity on our platform: HSBC Gold ETF Fund of Fund – Regular Plan.
If you have ever wanted to invest in gold without the hassle of buying physical jewellery, worrying about purity, or managing a demat account for Gold ETFs, this New Fund Offer (NFO) is your perfect starting point.
What is the HSBC Gold ETF Fund of Fund?
The HSBC Gold ETF Fund of Fund is an open-ended fund of fund scheme that invests predominantly in units of HSBC Gold Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) . In simple terms, this fund allows you to invest in gold in a paperless, fully digital, and convenient manner.
Instead of buying gold coins, bars, or even directly investing in a Gold ETF through a trading account, you can simply invest in this fund. The fund manager will handle the allocation to the underlying HSBC Gold ETF, making the entire process seamless for you.
This is a Regular Plan, which means you can invest with the guidance and support of platforms like Sanchay Karo, ensuring a hassle-free experience .
Why Invest in Gold Now?
Gold has always been a preferred asset class for Indian investors, but its role in a modern portfolio goes beyond tradition:
- Hedge Against Inflation: Gold has historically preserved purchasing power during periods of rising inflation.
- Diversification: Gold often has a low correlation with equities. Adding gold to your portfolio can reduce overall volatility and provide stability during stock market downturns .
- Liquidity: Unlike physical gold, which can be cumbersome to sell, gold funds offer high liquidity. You can redeem your units anytime at the prevailing NAV.
- Purity Assured: When you invest in a Gold ETF FoF, you are assured of 24-karat purity without worrying about making charges, wastage, or storage.
Why Choose a Gold ETF Fund of Fund (FoF)?
You might wonder—why not buy a Gold ETF directly or invest in physical gold? Here’s why a Gold ETF FoF is a compelling option for many investors:
| Feature | HSBC Gold ETF Fund of Fund | Direct Gold ETF |
|---|---|---|
| Demat Account | Not required | Required |
| Investment Mode | Lump sum & SIP | Only lump sum (through exchange) |
| Systematic Investing | SIP available starting at low amounts | SIP not directly available |
| Convenience | Invest directly via Sanchay Karo app | Need a trading account & demat |
With the HSBC Gold ETF Fund of Fund, you can start a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) with as little as ₹500, making gold accumulation disciplined and affordable.
