17 mutual fund houses restrict fresh gold ETF FoF inflows
In short
Seventeen mutual fund houses have temporarily stopped fresh money going into some gold ETF fund-of-funds. That includes lumpsum buys, new SIPs, and switch-ins.
Existing SIPs and withdrawals usually still work, depending on the scheme. The reports do not say why the limit was put in place or when it will end.
What the reporting says
Seventeen mutual fund houses temporarily restricted fresh investments in specified gold exchange-traded fund-of-funds, including lumpsum contributions, new SIPs and switch-ins. Existing SIPs and redemptions generally remain allowed, subject to scheme-specific conditions. The reporting does not state the reason for the restrictions or how long they will last, leaving investors without a timeline for when fresh purchases may reopen.
