GUWAHATI, Jan 16: Bandhan Mutual Fund has announced the launch of two open-ended schemes—Bandhan Gold ETF FoF and Bandhan Silver ETF FoF—aimed at offering investors a simple, transparent and cost-efficient route to invest in precious metals.
The New Fund Offers will open on January 12, 2026, and close on January 20, 2026.
Investments can be made through mutual fund distributors, investment advisors, online platforms or directly through the Bandhan Mutual Fund website.
Commenting on the launch, Vishal Kapoor, CEO of Bandhan AMC, said gold and silver play an important role in portfolio diversification, but traditional modes of investing often involve challenges such as storage, purity concerns and the need for demat accounts.
He said the Fund of Fund structure removes these barriers by eliminating demat requirements, allowing investments with a minimum amount of ₹1,000 and SIPs starting at ₹100.
He added that the new offerings combine the transparency of ETFs with the convenience of mutual fund investing, enabling investors to participate in gold’s role as a hedge and silver’s growing industrial demand through a liquid and accessible format.
The Bandhan Gold ETF FoF and Bandhan Silver ETF FoF are aimed at investors looking to strengthen portfolio resilience, diversify assets and gain exposure to precious metals through an efficient investment route.
