Smaller gold investors should give serious consideration to investing in gold exchange-traded funds (Gold ETFs). Gold ETFs are investments in tangible gold. The price of gold is tracked by the fund and this means that investors do not have to buy and retain gold in its physical form. Investors are then able to invest in the precious metal via stock exchanges. They can access the gold at wholesale prices and the liquidity is solid.

An ETF gold unit is worth one gram of gold. In order to invest in gold in this way, investors will need a demat account.  ETFs are passive investments and this means that the value moves according to that of gold. If gold increases in value then the ETF is worth more and likewise if gold depreciates then the ETF is then worth less.
