DSP Gold ETF: For investors in gold, DSP Mutual Fund has come up with the DSP Gold ETF Fund of Fund, which is an open-ended fund-of-fund (FoF) scheme investing in DSP Gold ETF. The NFO, or new fund offer for the same, has opened today (November 3) and will run until November 10.

For the layman, an NFO, or new fund offer, is a first-time subscription offer that is opened against the newly launched mutual fund scheme.

Further, a ‘Fund of Funds’ (FOF) is an investment strategy of holding a portfolio of other investment funds rather than investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other securities. A FOF scheme primarily invests in the units of another mutual fund scheme. This type of investing is often referred to as multi-manager investment, explains AMFI.
