Does Angel One offer gold ETFs?

By PriyaSahu

Yes, Angel One offers Gold ETF investments. You can invest in Indian Gold ETFs through your regular Demat account on NSE/BSE. Additionally, with their international trading platform, you can also invest in US‐listed gold ETFs like iShares Gold Trust (IAU) or SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), subject to meeting eligibility criteria. These options allow investors to add gold to their portfolio in a digital and safe way without the need to physically store gold.



What Gold ETFs Can You Buy?

Through Angel One you can buy popular Indian Gold ETFs like Nippon India ETF Gold BeES and SBI Gold ETF. If you have an international trading account, you can also access US ETFs such as IAU and GLD. These ETFs are listed just like shares and can be bought and sold during market hours easily.



How to Invest Step by Step?

Login to your Angel One Demat account, search for the Gold ETF you want, click ‘Buy’, enter quantity, and place the order. For US ETFs, unlock international trading first, then trade similarly. The platform is user-friendly and guides you through each step easily, whether on mobile or desktop.



Why Choose Gold ETFs?

Gold ETFs are easy to buy and sell like stocks. They give exposure to gold without the hassle of storage and are backed by physical gold. US ETFs offer additional diversification and fractional investing. Gold also acts as a hedge in uncertain markets, making your portfolio safer. Many investors use gold ETFs as a long-term investment for wealth protection.



What Are the Costs?

Indian Gold ETFs have expense ratios around 0.5%–1%, and you’ll pay regular brokerage. US ETFs like GLD/IAU have annual fees (~0.4%) and international brokerage applies. These costs are much lower compared to physical gold buying or storage, making Gold ETFs an affordable option.



Can You Do SIP?

For Indian Gold ETFs, you can set up SIP via Gold FoF or through systematic investments in the regular platform. For US ETFs, periodic orders can be arranged manually or via international SIP service if available. SIP helps build gold investment slowly and steadily with small monthly amounts.



What Are the Tax Rules?

Gold ETFs held for more than 1 year qualify as long-term capital gains (10% with no indexation). Selling before 1 year is taxed at your normal income rate (short-term gains). Tax is payable only on profit made, and Angel One provides statements for filing returns easily.



How Much Should You Invest?

Gold is best for 5–10% of your total portfolio. It adds safety and balances risk from equities and volatility in other assets. If you’re a conservative investor or looking for long-term wealth protection, gold ETFs are a smart and safe option. Start small and build gradually over time.
