Bandhan Mutual Fund has announced the introduction of two new investment products: the Bandhan Gold ETF FoF and the Bandhan Silver ETF FoF. These open-ended schemes are set to open for subscription on Monday, January 12, 2026, with the offering period closing on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. 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. This lowers the entry barrier, with investments starting as low as ₹1,000 and Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) available from ₹100.
These schemes are particularly suited for investors looking to diversify their portfolios across different asset classes and hedge against market volatility. 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.
