6 Gold ETFs That Have Turned Attractive After A Fall In Gold Prices

SBI Gold Exchange Traded Fund like most other peers is similar when it comes to features. It offers you the ability to hold gold in the electronic form without worries over theft. However, the returns like most others has been nagative in the last 2 years. It's difficult to predict if it will remain so. As mentioned earlier those planning to invest in gold ETFs should look at it as more of a diversification of portfolio.

Kotak Gold ETF
Koak Gold ETF like others tracks domestic prices of gold. It's important to note that gold ETFs do not attract wealth tax. The fund has given -11.9 per cent in the last one year.
Goldman Sachs Gold Exchange Traded Scheme

Conclusion
Gold prices have fallen in the last 2 years and Gold ETFs have taken a bad hit. There is no guarantee that gold prices would recover. Only when gold prices recover can one hope for a recovery in Gold ETFs. The short term scope for recovery in gold prices looks doubtful. One has to take a more long term view while investing in gold.
