SBI Mutual Fund, one of India’s biggest fund houses, manages 127 schemes. Out of these, about 40 are passive funds, including index funds, ETFs, and fund of funds (FoFs). Passive funds are cost-effective and track the performance of a specific index or asset.
Over the past year, 3 precious metal funds have delivered standout performance.
These funds benefited from the rally in bullion prices. Gold touched ₹1,09,500 per 10 grams, while silver surged to ₹1.28 lakh per kg, rising 48% and 54% respectively over the year.
Fund Name | Launch Year | AUM (₹ crore) | Expense Ratio | Risk Level |
---|---|---|---|---|
SBI Gold Fund | 2013 | 5,221 | 0.10% | High Risk |
SBI Gold ETF | 2009 | 9,506 | 0.70% | High Risk |
SBI Silver ETF | 2024 | 1,150 | 0.40% | Very High Risk |
ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) allow investors to buy and sell units on the stock market, similar to shares. Instead of holding physical gold or silver, investors gain exposure digitally through their demat accounts.

Although gold and silver gave strong returns in the last 12 months, past performance doesn’t guarantee future gains. These metals are considered safe-haven assets and often rally during uncertain times. Keep a balanced allocation to gold and silver, rather than relying on them fully.
SBI’s gold and silver passive funds have delivered exceptional returns of up to 51% in one year, making them standout performers. However, investors should remain cautious, diversify their portfolio, and avoid chasing past returns blindly.
