Bandhan Mutual Fund unveils Gold and Silver ETFs ahead of December NFO Window

Bandhan Mutual Fund on Friday announced the launch of two new commodity-based investment products — the Bandhan Gold ETF and Bandhan Silver ETF. Both open-ended schemes will track domestic prices of physical gold and silver, offering investors a transparent and efficient route to diversify their portfolios. The New Fund Offers (NFOs) will open on December 1 and close on December 3, 2025, with investments available through all major platforms.

According to the fund house, gold continues to provide stability during global uncertainty, acting as a neutral store of value when currencies fluctuate. Silver, on the other hand, is gaining fresh momentum due to its dual role as a precious metal and an essential industrial input across renewable energy, electric vehicles, and advanced electronics.

In Kolkata, investor interest in commodity-based ETFs has been steadily rising, driven by increasing awareness and a preference for regulated, cost-efficient products. Financial advisors in the city note that demand for gold remains strong during the festive and wedding season, while younger investors are actively exploring silver ETFs for long-term industrial-linked growth prospects. Bandhan Mutual Fund said the two ETFs are designed to help investors strengthen resilience and build diversification across their portfolios.
