Axis Mutual Fund Launches Gold & Silver Passive FoF: A Simple Gateway to Dual Precious Metal Exposure
Axis Mutual Fund, one of India’s leading asset management companies, has announced the launch of the Axis Gold & Silver Passive Fund of Fund (FoF)—an open‑ended scheme that invests in units of Gold ETFs and Silver ETFs.
The New Fund Offer (NFO) will remain open for subscription from December 10, 2025 to December 22, 2025.
The new scheme offers investors an easy and transparent way to participate in the performance of two globally trusted stores of value—gold and silver—through a single investment vehicle.
Why This FoF Matters: Dual Commodity Exposure, Zero Complexity
The fund aims to provide a balanced allocation to gold and silver by predominantly investing in units of Gold ETFs and Silver ETFs.
B. Gopkumar, MD & CEO at Axis AMC, said:
“Gold and silver have historically served as effective hedges against inflation and currency volatility, while also offering diversification benefits. With Axis Gold & Silver Passive FoF, we are giving investors a cost‑efficient way to access these metals without the complexities of physical ownership.”
Why Gold & Silver Matter in a Portfolio
Gold and silver have played a critical role in portfolio diversification for decades due to their:
Low correlation with traditional asset classes
Effectiveness as inflation hedges
Resilience during currency depreciation and global volatility
While gold is widely viewed as a safe‑haven asset, silver offers both monetary value and significant industrial demand—providing an added layer of diversification.
However, buying physical metal involves storage, purity testing, and high transaction costs. This makes passive investing through ETFs and FoFs a more efficient choice.
Why a Passive FoF?
Passive FoFs eliminate:
Human bias in asset allocation
Operational challenges of physical metal
The need for managing multiple ETF investments
They offer simplicity, transparency, and cost efficiency—while benchmarking performance to market prices.
