Gold ETF Inflows Stay Strong For 3rd Month As Assets Cross ₹1 Lakh Crore

Gold ETFs continued to attract strong buying in October, marking the third straight month of solid inflows. The total assets under management crossed ₹1 lakh crore, showing that investors are still confident about gold even at high prices.

Inflows picked up sharply from ₹2,189.51 crore in August to a record ₹8,363.13 crore in September, and stayed strong at ₹7,743 crore in October, according to AMFI.

Investor interest has been rising for 2 months, and even multi-asset funds, which usually hold some gold, saw inflows of more than ₹5,000 crore, compared to around ₹2,000 crore six months ago.

Why Gold Is Getting More Attention

Gold and silver have delivered better returns than Indian equities over the last year. This has encouraged many investors to increase their gold allocation. Gold has also become a leader in passive investing, supported by strong ETF inflows.

Even with high prices and sharp swings, investors continue to buy gold for safety, diversification, and long-term wealth protection. Gold prices have risen 55% this year, making it one of the best-performing assets.

Reasons Behind The Sustained Demand

Conclusion

Gold ETF inflows have stayed strong for 3 months, showing that investors are using gold not just as a hedge, but as a steady part of their portfolios. With rising prices, global uncertainty, and stronger demand, gold appears firmly placed as a strategic long-term investment in India.
