Note: HDFC multi asset allocation fund will have this. So you are stuck if you invest in it.
Are other AMC s also walking down this path? Then I will have shift AMC to one which only relies with physical gold
So basically there is something wrong with HDFC….no wonder chairman resigned
How SEBI is allowing this? how a normal person can differentiate between gold back ETF and HDFC ETF?
HDFC AMC should be sued for this.
what about gold bees ? any update ?
Is this change across all Metal ETFs in India?
Sir , Please update if other ETFs follow HDFC's Path.
ALOKJI …ONE REQUEST…PLS PROVIDE INFO LIKE THIS WHEN NIPPON GOLD BEES DO THIS JUGGLING…..AS THIS ONE IS BIGGEST AND OLDEST GOLD ETF…..SO WE CAN TAKE DECISION LIKE U ON THIS POINTS……
SEBI is sleeping I think
Who will be responsible for loss if exit now?
Thanks for the important information.
They might be thinking that in a long consolidation period of gold the yield will be helpful to give more return but again what is the benefit of AMC by doing that, they just increase the expense ratio? Clearly i am not happy with that model change.
Sir what will be impact to gold mutual fund( example Gold Mutual Fund) which invest on ETF
Is there any safe exit for gold mutual fund ?
Govt wants this money. Selling the etf when price goes up and buying physical
What if those other products ( derivatives ) fail or go hey wire?
Else Fund houses should keep 50 % BG or 70-80 % value shares deposited to sebi ..
Is it a tip of iceberg ?
amcs seems to be short of backup of actual gold ..froth ?
Bad idea to add speculative n risky assets to actual core concept ..u r weakening a strong hedge instrument ..it’s a question of faith n security..else people already have options of generating alpha with risky assets like equities n funds ..
So basically it’s just opposite to core objective of gold or gold etf ..
This is outright violation . something is rotting
To me it seems a change to garner as much as AUM seems like GOLD will go down and people will shy away from GOLD ETF so now they want to retain the AUM the changes are done
not saying you misguided intentionally, but you have done it twice now. I have gone through the email sent by HDCF about the notification and it min 95% gold alloc stays. The 5% rest of the allocation has a few more assets added. Thats about it. Check. Earlier in an iterview you told the audience that ETF's in India might not be backed by gold and checked you back then too.. That interview is still online. Please don't break trust. Let us continue watching you.
this is not just HDFC amc issue all gold etfs can do this as per SEBI regulations , HDFC just shared intimation recently others didnt even notified that such a regulation exists
Just today I invested in HDFC, sad thing I'll have to exit
My banking friend said two years back that no digital gold is safe, only physical gold is. If a huge explosive growth happens with gold anything can default. He specifically said if he were to invest in gold he would consider physical gold, gold fund of funds lastly etfs
I'm not getting this change anywhere in Google. Can someone share the link for the same.
Sir,
I was getting confused, since ETF & FUTURES were discussed TOGETHER.
What about other etfs like Goldbees, Goldcase ?
I wonder if SEBI is following the command of the large foreign institutions.
Hello sir, thanks for sharing this information. You have been advising for physical gold. But I always have questions about where can I store physical gold? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated 😊
It's for all ETF in India now? 5% option future is hedge but 50%😅
Now ETF won't be able to beat even gold price
Basically gov wants to reduce physical gold buying so this rule
Thanks for update
Hi @Alok,thankyou very much for sharing.This looks that these in demand Gold ETf’s funds will kow behave like SIG’s and no more an actual proxy.Thankyou again for bringing it to our notice
I don’t understand…i am already holding this etf…now i want to sell. But the price of it will decrease now without having anything to do with gold? Is that legal?
Sir, please clarify
Nice that you brought it to our Attention. Thanks!
ICICI GOLD etf also has ETCD based gold exposure in Dec 2025
Eye opener , too risky
US gold etf is more of F&O ?
Good u brought out this Alok 😮😢😂There are many investors in Gold ETF who may not know this recent development and what dangerous, uncharted, unfamiliar path their investments are getting into. 😮😢In fact SEBI or any SEBI appointed Agency and the MF also should explain this repeatedly to the investor and take their consent in writing if Gold ETF is not henceforth be backed by Physical Gold😮
What will u do with GOLD etf in your smallcase Sir?
Sir, this is the first YouTube channel where you have clearly explained the insight about HDFC ETF participation in derivatives, along with the associated risks. The way you diagnosed the issue and explained it is truly unique—something that no one else has highlighted so clearly.
Sir, could you please share a list of ETFs where one can invest purely in gold or silver without derivative exposure? Many of us are looking for simple, low-risk options where the ETF strictly tracks the underlying commodity price (like MCX/COMEX) without additional complexities.
It would be very helpful if you could also compare gold ETFs vs silver ETFs from a risk, tracking accuracy, and investment perspective.
Your guidance can really help investors like us make informed decisions. We will be eagerly waiting for your response.
Thank you for your valuable insights.
