HDFC Mutual Fund restricts fresh investments in Gold ETF schemes

HDFC Mutual Fund has temporarily restricted fresh investments in its gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) offerings amid prevailing economic and market conditions.

In an addendum dated 4 June 2026, the fund house said that subscription transactions by large investors directly into the HDFC Gold ETF will not be accepted from 8 June 2026 onwards. The restriction applies to investments of at least Rs 25 crore made directly with the fund.

The asset manager has also imposed limits on lump sum investments in the HDFC Gold ETF Fund of Fund (FOF). Under the revised rules, lump sum purchases and switch-ins into the scheme will be processed only up to Rs 10 lakh per PAN per calendar month at the first-holder level.

The limit for the FOF will be applicable to transactions received after the cut-off time of 3:00 PM on 5 June 2026.

HDFC Mutual Fund said the restrictions are temporary and will remain in force until further notice. The fund house did not specify the duration of the measures.

The changes affect only fresh lump sum subscriptions, while all other terms and conditions of the schemes remain unchanged, the fund house added.

The addendum forms an integral part of the Scheme Information Document (SID) and Key Information Memorandum (KIM) of both schemes.
