Gold Silver Rate Today Live Updates (2 April): Abhishek Bhilwaria, BhilwariaMF, AMFI registered MFD tells ETMutualFunds
Investors should view gold mutual funds as a long-term diversification tool (ideally for 3–5+ years) rather than a short-term trading asset, as they provide a crucial hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty. While current volatility is high due to global tensions and shifting central bank policies, continuing a disciplined Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows you to accumulate more units during price corrections, effectively smoothing out your purchase costs over time. For those not yet invested, allocating 5%–10% of your total portfolio to gold via mutual funds or ETFs remains a standard recommendation to balance risk against equity market fluctuations.
