Nippon Life India Asset Management has reported that its flagship Nippon India ETF Gold BeES ranked sixth globally among gold exchange-traded funds by inflows. The ranking is based on comparative data released by the World Gold Council.
The fund recorded strong inflows during the period, reflecting sustained investor demand for gold-backed investment instruments. It was the only Indian gold ETF to feature in the global top 10 by flows.
Nippon India ETF Gold BeES recorded inflows of $1.08 billion during the period under review. This translated into gold demand of approximately 6.6 tonnes, reflecting strong investor participation.
The fund secured the sixth position globally among gold ETFs based on inflows. It remained the only Indian ETF to feature in the global top 10 rankings for the period.
Global demand for gold ETFs remained strong, supported by continued allocation towards safe-haven assets. The top 15 gold ETFs collectively attracted inflows of about $42.86 billion.
This corresponds to nearly 301.3 tonnes of gold demand, based on compiled data from Bloomberg, company filings, and the World Gold Council. The trend indicates sustained global interest in gold as a portfolio diversifier.
Funds based in the United States and China continued to dominate global gold ETF inflows. Large products such as SPDR Gold Shares and SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust led the rankings during the period.
These funds benefit from higher liquidity, deeper markets, and strong institutional participation. Their scale contributes significantly to the overall global ETF flow dynamics.
India emerged as a notable contributor to global gold ETF flows despite having a relatively smaller ETF market. Increasing adoption of regulated, exchange-traded gold products has supported this growth.
Investors have used gold ETFs for diversification and liquidity without holding physical gold. Nippon India ETF Gold BeES, with holdings of 36.2 tonnes, remained India’s sole representative among the global top 15.
