NEW DELHI: Heightened risk and uncertainty sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic elicited investors to rush to gold as safe haven as they infused over Rs 6,900 crore in gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in 2020-21, more than four times from the preceding fiscal.
This also marks the second consecutive year of inflow. Prior to that, gold ETFs have been witnessing outflows since 2013-14, data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi) showed.
Mywealthgrowth.com co-founder Harshad Chetanwala said it is unlikely that inflows in gold would see similar surge in the ongoing fiscal.
According to the Amfi data, investors put in a net sum of Rs 6,919 crore in 14 gold-linked ETFs in the just-concluded financial year, much higher than the Rs 1,614 crore invested in 2019-20.
