Gold ETFs eliminate these complexities for investors who wish to participate in the commodity market but find it difficult due to lack of time or other reasons. The funds are managed by well-known fund managers who ensure that the interests of investors areprotected.

  9. Easy to hold for long: It is easy to sell or buy units depending on the price trend, or hold them for the long term at any point in time, without worrying about storage or liquidityissues.
