Gold ETFs Attract ₹3,040 Crore in April 2026 as Silver ETFs Post Outflows

Gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded net inflows of ₹3,040 crore in April, compared with ₹2,266 crore in March, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). The month-on-month increase stood at 34%. 

The rise in allocations came during a period of continued volatility in global markets and uncertainty around geopolitical developments. Investors continued to allocate funds towards gold alongside exposure to equity-oriented products. 

Silver ETFs Report Net Outflows 

Silver ETFs, meanwhile, saw net outflows of ₹126.72 crore during April. Despite the outflows, Assets Under Management (AUM) of the category rose 2.7% from the previous month to ₹81,944 crore due to mark-to-market gains. 

Flows into precious metal funds were lower compared with the sharp increase seen earlier in the year. Industry data indicated that investor activity in the segment moderated during April after strong inflows in previous months. 

Investor Allocations Remain Mixed 

As per news reports, Umesh Sharma, Chief Investment Officer–Debt at The Wealth Company Mutual Fund, said ETFs and index funds continued to receive inflows during the month, while allocations towards gold ETFs was indicative of a balanced investment approach. 

Market participants said gold continued to be used as a diversification tool during periods of uncertainty in global markets. At the same time, domestic participation in equity mutual funds remained steady. 

Equity Mutual Funds Continue to Attract Flows 

Suranjana Borthakur, Head of Distribution and Strategic Alliances at Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India), said equity mutual funds continued to witness domestic participation despite concerns related to global markets. 

She added that gold continued to remain part of long-term portfolio allocation strategies for investors. Recent mutual fund flow trends showed allocations spread across multiple asset classes rather than concentrated in a single category.
