Difference Between Gold Fund of Fund & Gold ETF
Mutual funds are a pool of professionally managed funds. What fund houses do is that they pool funds from investors sharing a common investment and invest the capital raised with the intention of generating capital appreciation over the long term. Mutual funds are managed by a team of professional fund managers who buy and sell securities in quantum with an investment strategy that allows the fund to achieve its underlying index. Depending on the nature of the scheme and the investment objective of the fund, a mutual fund may invest across multiple asset classes like equity and debt. Apart from this it also invests in money market instruments like, government securities, etc. Mutual funds generally depend on the performance of their underlying assets to generate capital appreciation over time.
A mutual fund portfolio can also face losses during volatile market conditions. In order to stop this from happening, a mutual fund generally diversifies its investment portfolio among various money market instruments. So even if one asset class underperforms, investments in other sectors/industries may even out the losses. It is less likely for all the asset classes to underperform in tandem at the same time.
