Gold ETFs aren’t just glitter—they’re a practical hedge for Indian portfolios, but the savvy investor blends them with stocks. Across discussions, a 60/40 split—60% in equities, 40% in gold—plus a yearly rebalance, keeps risk in check [3].
Gold investment options Gold ETFs such as GOLDBEES are a liquid entry point; GOLDBEES is the Gold ETF from Nippon India AMC. If you don’t have a demat account, consider Gold MF as an alternative [1][2].
60/40 and rebalancing That 60/40 rule isn’t a gimmick—it’s a way to balance growth with ballast because gold and stocks move differently, reducing surprises over time [3].
Hybrids and mutual funds for diversification Investors also look at Aggressive Hybrid Mutual Funds to blend asset classes, with options like SWP helping generate income while staying invested [4]. For a disciplined path, mix equity sleeves with debt and hybrids, rather than chasing tips or single bets [3][4].
SIP-ready fund mix for a long horizon (15 years) A practical SIP blueprint includes: • Flexi Cap Fund • Index Fund • Mid Cap Fund • Small Cap Fund • Debt Fund — aligned with a long horizon and diversified risk [5].
Closing thought: by pairing gold exposure with a balanced equity sleeve and a thoughtful mutual fund mix, Indian investors can smooth volatility while aiming for solid long-term growth.
