What is a Gold ETF?

A Gold ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) is a mutual fund that tracks the price of physical gold. Each unit of a Gold ETF represents approximately 1 gram of 24K physical gold backed by actual gold stored in vaults.

Benefits of Gold ETF

• No storage or security risk — gold held by fund house
• Buy/sell anytime during market hours like stocks
• No making charges or GST like physical gold
• Can start with as little as ₹50-100 via broker apps
• Fully transparent — NAV tracks gold price directly
• Demat form — no purity concerns

How to Buy Gold ETF

Open a demat account with Zerodha, Groww, Upstox or any broker. Search for "GOLDBEES" or any other Gold ETF. Place a buy order like you would for any stock. No separate KYC needed if you already have a demat account.
