Abstract

For centuries, Indians have had a strong affinity for gold. However, it was only in the year 2007 when India launched its first gold ETF (Gold BeES). The underlying asset of these ETFs is gold. Also, gold ETFs give you exposure to the Indian gold market. Gold Exchange Traded Funds, or Gold ETFs, are open-ended mutual fund schemes based on the ever-fluctuating cost of gold. Physical gold, on the other hand, does not generate an income. Also, the making charges on physical gold are high. Gold ETFs give investors exposure to the gold market. They are an excellent choice of investment for investors looking to beat inflation in the long run. This paper takes a look at the performance evaluation of gold ETFs in India all through the COVID-19 Pandemic Situation. An evaluation is achieved using overall performance assessment strategies inclusive of the Treynor Performance Index, the Sharpe Performance Index, and the Jensen Performance by measuring the alpha, beta, and preferred deviations of the selected ETFs traded on the NSE.
