Reliance Gold Savings Fund, is the first gold fund of fund in the industry which opens a new avenue for investing in gold as an asset class. The fund seeks to provide returns of gold through investments in Reliance Gold Exchange Traded Fund, which in turn invest in physical gold. It enables you to reap the returns of gold in a paper form without the need of a demat account. 

It is a passively managed fund which would enable an investor to save for gold in a convenient manner either through lump sum investment or through systematic investment.

On the flip side it would allocate upto 5% of assets in reverse repo and /or CBLO and/or short-term fixed deposits and/or schemes which invest predominantly in the money market securities or liquid schemes with low to medium risk profile.

Sikka said the gold investment opportunity in India was not optimally tapped and the new product will offer a simple, affordable and investor-friendly solution for investing in gold to the masses. 

"Indians are known for their love for gold. However, with low demat penetration in India, a lot of investors have not been able to participate in this safe mode of investment. 

"This product will create a new avenue for pure gold investments for the retail investor without the need of having a demat account or a locker," he added. 

This new fund will enable investors to avail long-term taxation benefits from the first year itself, unlike physical gold, wherein long-term taxation can only be availed after three years.
The scheme offer growth and dividend plan. The dividend plan offers dividend payout and reinvestment option. 

The minimum application amount is Rs 5,000 and in multiples of Rs 1 thereafter.
