Major Asset Managers Limit Large Investments in Gold ETFs to Curb Inflows
Several major asset management companies, including HDFC Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, Kotak Mutual Fund, and Nippon India Mutual Fund, have imposed restrictions on large inflows into gold ETFs and Fund of Funds, capping lump-sum subscriptions above Rs 25 crore. This move aligns with the Indian government's efforts, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal, to discourage excessive gold purchases and reduce gold imports. Retail investors are expected to remain unaffected, with liquidity maintained through market makers and ongoing smaller investments.
