Delving into data spanning from 2019 to 2023, the firm unveils a consistent uptrend in assets under management (AUM), with a remarkable surge observed amid the pandemic, underscoring the enduring appeal of gold as an investment asset.

In the realm of gold investments, various avenues beckon individuals seeking to diversify their investment portfolios or safeguard against inflation.

"Investing in gold ETFs offers unparalleled advantages, including liquidity, cost-effectiveness, and security. By investing in gold ETFs like Zerodha Fund House's Gold ETF (NSE, BSE symbol: GOLDCASE), investors can eliminate the hassle of storage, purity concerns, and insurance associated with physical gold while enjoying the flexibility of investing on the stock exchange." Vishal Jain, CEO, Zerodha Fund House, said in a statement.
