CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The rise in gold prices is also being reflected in the returns of gold exchange traded funds, or gold ETFs. According to available data for September 2026, several gold ETFs have delivered returns of around 35% or more over the past year. For example, the one-year change in 360 ONE Gold ETF was recorded at 36.09%, while Union Gold ETF registered 35.56%.
Investors do not need to buy physical gold and keep it at home or in a locker to invest in gold ETFs. These funds track gold prices, and their units can be bought and sold on the stock market. This gives investors a digital and relatively convenient way to invest in gold.
A demat and trading account is required to invest in gold ETFs. Investors can buy units with small amounts according to their capacity. However, returns depend on market movements, and performance over the past year does not guarantee similar returns in the future.
Before investing, it is important to look at an ETF’s expense ratio, trading volume, fund size and performance against gold prices. Investment in gold should be treated as one part of the overall portfolio, and decisions should be made according to risk profile and investment horizon.
