Axis AMC Introduces Passive FoF Offering Exposure to Gold and Silver ETFs

Axis Mutual Fund has launched the Axis Gold & Silver Passive FoF, an open-ended fund of funds scheme investing in domestic gold and silver ETFs. The scheme aims to simplify commodity investing by offering exposure to both metals through a single passive product. 

The fund will track the domestic price of gold and silver in equal proportion (50:50) and invest predominantly in ETF units. The NFO is open from December 10 to December 22, 2025, with a minimum investment requirement of ₹100.

The fund house stated that commodities such as gold and silver play a critical role in portfolio diversification due to their low correlation with traditional asset classes. While gold is considered a safe-haven asset, silver combines monetary value with industrial demand, offering an additional diversification layer.

Speaking on the launch, B. Gopkumar, MD & CEO, Axis AMC, said:
“Gold and silver have historically served as effective hedges against inflation and currency volatility, while also offering diversification benefits to portfolios. With Axis Gold & Silver Passive FoF, we are providing investors a simple and cost-efficient way to gain exposure to these precious metals without the complexities of physical ownership.”

The scheme will be jointly managed by Mr. Pratik Tibrewal and Mr. Aditya Pagaria and carries an exit load of 0.25% for redemptions within 15 days, and nil thereafter.
