Investors can participate in this launch through various channels, including mutual fund distributors and online platforms.

The new fund offers are designed to make investing in precious metals more accessible. Vishal Kapoor, CEO of Bandhan AMC, highlighted that these Fund of Fund (FoF) structures remove the need for demat accounts, which are typically required for ETFs.

By leveraging the structure of ETFs within a mutual fund framework, the Bandhan Gold ETF FoF and Bandhan Silver ETF FoF provide a liquid, transparent, and convenient method to gain exposure to gold and silver.
