Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are extremely popular among investors, as they track gold prices and eliminate the need of storage. Also, since they are in the electronic form, there is no real need to worry about theft. Last year, gold gave returns of as much as 9 per cent in the international markets, though our own returns fell as the currency fluctuated against the US dollar. Here are a few gold ETFs that investors could consider for 2017.
