Investors who want to invest in gold and silver without the hassles of buying and storing physical metals now have a new option. Axis Mutual Fund has launched a new Gold and Silver Fund of Fund (FoF).
The NFO, called Axis Gold & Silver Passive Fund of Fund, opened on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, and will remain open until December 22, 2025. This fund aims to give investors a balanced exposure to gold and silver.
Easy Way to Add Commodities to Your Portfolio
This fund makes it simple to include commodities in your investment portfolio. The Axis Gold & Silver Passive FoF is an open-ended scheme that invests in Gold ETFs and Silver ETFs.
By investing in this fund, investors can earn returns linked to gold and silver prices, with a 50:50 weightage between the two metals.
Why Include Gold and Silver in Your Portfolio?
The stock market has been highly volatile in recent years. Precious metals like gold and silver help strengthen portfolios during market fluctuations.
Gold is considered a safe long-term investment.
Silver has both monetary value and industrial demand, making it a versatile asset.
B. Gopakumar, MD and CEO of Axis AMC, said,
“Gold and silver have always protected investors during inflation and currency volatility. This FoF offers a simple and affordable way to gain exposure without dealing with physical metals.”
Benefits of Investing in a Passive FoF
Investing through ETFs and FoFs is easier and more transparent than buying physical gold or silver. Benefits include:
No storage issues
No concerns about tax, purity, or logistics
Lower investment costs
Less reliance on fund manager decisions
The NFO allows investors to start with just ₹100, making it accessible for small investors.
Fund Structure and Management
The fund will be managed by Pratik Tibrewal and Aditya Pagaria, both experienced in commodity and fixed income markets.
Most of the portfolio will be invested in gold and silver ETFs.
Up to 5% may be kept in money market instruments to maintain liquidity.
Who Should Invest in This Fund?
The Axis Gold & Silver Passive FoF is suitable for investors who:
Want gold and silver in their portfolio
Want a hedge against market volatility
Prefer not to invest in physical metals
Want to start investing in commodities with a small amount
Important Note: Although gold and silver are generally safe in the long term, returns depend on market performance and are not guaranteed.
The fund is rated Very High Risk, so investors should consider their risk appetite before investing.
