November 2024

While Indians love to invest in physical gold, even mutual funds offer the option, but in paper format.

Gold ETFs And FoFs

In India, gold funds are, typically, of two types-gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and gold fund of funds (FoFs). Gold ETFs track the price of gold and are backed by actual gold bullion, while gold FoFs invest in gold ETFs. A third type is World Gold FoF. It invests in stocks of companies involved in gold mining and production.

While you need a demat account to invest in gold ETFs, the other two options can be bought through fund houses directly.

Generative AI is a subset of AI that creates new content, such as text, images, audio, or videos.

It is called generative because of its ability to “generate” human-like responses to prompts. On the other hand, traditional AI, focuses on automation.
