Quantum Gold Fund is an Exchange Traded Fund also known as ETF.

ETF units are listed on stock exchanges and traded like equity shares. An ETF would have some underlying security or group of securities like an index, sector stocks or commodities, like gold. These underlying securities determine the ETF’s value.

A Gold ETF is fund that has gold as the underlying security. So, the value of the ETF is derived from the value of underlying gold. Gold ETF would be a passive investment; so, when gold prices move up, the ETF appreciates and when gold prices move down, the ETF price comes down. As Gold ETFs track gold prices, the only differentiating factor would be the costs borne by the Fund House.
