Gold ETF will have the same risk as if you own gold, except that in a financial form, it reduces some of the risk
You don't have to worry about the purity or the liquidity You will be able to realise it But by and large, all the market risks If gold prices go up,
it will benefit If they go down, you'll be hurt There'll be depreciation; your value will go down People think that this is gold That's a metaphor for something which holds value,
but that may not always be true There has been a prolonged period when gold has lost value, which is the risk one should be aware of The rest of the risks are reasonably covered in this, in terms of liquidity, purity, and other things
Also, gold ETF has existed in India for a while Most of the operational glitches, or the operating risk of running a gold ETF, have come down dramatically
because it has been thought through, revised, and updated, and now it is a 15-year-old story
