Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 34.39%, 0% and 0%, respectively, and the fund is tagged as High Risk.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a concentrated gold-oriented fund-of-funds with a strong recent 1-year showing, but a short operating history means the longer trailing figures do not yet give a full compounding record. The structure and risk label make it more suitable for investors who can accept sharp swings and want gold allocation through a fund route rather than a broad equity style product.<\/p>\n<div

slightly negative, but it still held up better than the benchmark over the same period. The 3-month number is more encouraging, and it stayed ahead of the benchmark by a wider margin, which suggests the fund has recently been stronger than the index backdrop it is being compared against.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year return is the clearest part of the record so far. At 34.39%, it is well ahead of the benchmark\u2019s -7.76%, which points to a materially different path over the past year. That gap matters because it shows the fund has not just preserved capital relative to the benchmark; it has outpaced it by a wide margin.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the longer view is limited because the fund only launched in August 2025. The 1-year pattern shows a sharp rise, some give-back, and then a recovery into late August and September 2026. That shape supports a view of meaningful near-term momentum, but it does not yet establish a multi-year compounding profile.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, the key takeaway is that the recent run has been strong, but the fund\u2019s history is still short. We would read the return pattern as one that can suit gold allocation needs, while the benchmark comparison highlights that the recent period has been materially better than the broad equity benchmark used here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-mf-premium-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;background:#f7faff\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_Baroda_BNP_Paribas_Gold_ETF_FoF\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Baroda BNP Paribas Gold ETF FoF?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fund&#8217;s past returns alone don&#8217;t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.<\/p>\n<p>The right decision depends on factors such as your current allocation, purchase price, risk profile, investment horizon and the role this fund plays in your overall portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already holding Baroda BNP Paribas Gold ETF FoF?

On the longer horizon, the comparison is less useful because the peer entries shown here do not provide usable 3-year or 5-year figures for the other funds, while this fund itself does not yet have those longer trailing records.<\/p>\n<p>That means the peer picture is split between a very strong recent figure and limited long-term comparability. For an investor, the short-term comparison supports the view that the fund has recently performed more strongly than the listed alternatives, but the absence of longer peer history on this screen prevents a cleaner judgment about durability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<div class=\"univest-peer-login-cta\" style=\"margin:20px 0;padding:16px 18px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;border-radius:8px;background:#f7faff\">\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><strong>Want to know more?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"font-weight:700;text-decoration:none\">Log in to Univest<\/a> for more mutual fund insights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portfolio_where_your_money_goes\"><\/span>Portfolio: where your money goes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding<\/th>\n<th>Sector<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Baroda BNP Paribas Gold Etf-Rg<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units &#8211; Gold<\/td>\n<td>99.75%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The portfolio is almost entirely represented by one holding, Baroda BNP Paribas Gold Etf-Rg, at 99.75%. That makes the fund highly dependent on the movement of the underlying gold ETF, so the single position is likely to have the greatest influence on day-to-day outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Because only one disclosed holding is visible here, there is no weight fall-off across multiple names to analyse. The structure is therefore not diversified across a basket of securities; instead, it is concentrated in a single underlying gold exposure, which may help keep the fund aligned closely with its mandate.<\/p>\n<p>With only one disclosed holding, the visible portfolio is fully concentrated and leaves little room for offsetting positions. That concentration can be useful for investors who want a straightforward gold allocation, but it also means the fund\u2019s behaviour may track the underlying gold ETF very closely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_invest\"><\/span>Who should invest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This fund is better suited to investors who are comfortable with High Risk and who can hold through sharp moves in value.

The narrow portfolio design also means investors should be comfortable with a concentrated gold-linked outcome and with the fact that it is being compared here against a broad equity benchmark rather than a like-for-like gold market reference.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_and_exit_load\"><\/span>Tax and exit load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding period<\/th>\n<th>Tax rate<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held less than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>Short-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held more than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>12.5%<\/td>\n<td>Long-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Exit load:<\/strong> 1% if units are sold on or before 15 days; nil after 15 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_NAV_of_Baroda_BNP_Paribas_Gold_ETF_FoF_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of Baroda BNP Paribas Gold ETF FoF Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b915.0671 as of 16 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_funds_1-year_3-year_and_5-year_returns\"><\/span>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The 1-year return is 34.39%, while the 3-year and 5-year returns are Data not available because the fund\u2019s trailing record is still too short for those periods.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_has_the_fund_performed_against_the_benchmark\"><\/span>How has the fund performed against the benchmark?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It has done better than the benchmark across the available periods.
