HSBC Mutual Fund Launches Gold ETFs Amid Continued Investor Interest in Gold

HSBC Mutual Fund has launched its first gold-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) and a Fund of Fund (FoF) in India, with New Fund Offers opening in March 2026. The HSBC Gold ETF will primarily invest in physical gold, while the FoF will invest mainly in the Gold ETF units and some debt instruments. Gold continues to be valued in portfolios for its role as a store of value and diversification asset, often providing stability during market volatility due to its low correlation with equities and bonds.
