Ranked within Gold ETF (same plan and option). 7 of the 24 Gold ETF funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

January–December, from this fund's NAV history. Absolute return, not annualised. “part” marks a year the fund didn't run end to end — its first year, the current year so far, or one it stopped reporting in; those years show no benchmark comparison.
Fund size over time
Quarterly average AUM · AMFIAt or near its largest, ₹3,251Cr in April - June 2026. Size matters most where the mandate is narrow — a large small-cap or a very large flexi-cap book is harder to move without moving the price.

About Index funds & ETFs
Index funds and ETFs simply track a benchmark such as the Nifty 50 rather than trying to beat it. They charge far lower fees than active funds, and their return is the index's return minus that small cost.
