The Union Gold Fund of Funds is an open-ended investment scheme that focuses on investing in units of Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
This fund offers investors a convenient way to gain exposure to gold, a valuable asset known for its long-term stability and potential as a hedge against inflation.
By investing in Gold ETFs, the fund aims to provide a cost-effective and efficient method for individuals to diversify their portfolios with gold, without the need for physical ownership.
The main goal of the Union Gold Fund of Funds is to deliver long-term capital growth by primarily investing in Gold ETFs.
The fund seeks to track the performance of physical gold, providing investors with the benefits of gold exposure through indirect investment.
While the fund aims to reflect the price movements of gold, there is no guarantee that it will achieve the intended investment objective. The performance of the scheme will largely depend on the performance of the underlying Gold ETFs.
