SBI Gold Fund Direct Growth recorded a NAV of ₹42.84 on 26 October 2026, with the 5paisa primary card showing a 0.22% daily increase. The scheme is a domestic fund-of-funds strategy and primarily obtains its gold exposure through units of SBI Gold ETF rather than through a conventional diversified equity portfolio.

Historical returns were 15.62% over one year, 30.96% annualised over three years and 22.84% annualised over five years. These figures describe previous performance periods and do not imply any future direction for gold prices or the scheme's NAV.

The latest fund size was approximately ₹17,423 crore, while the Direct Growth expense ratio stood at 0.25%. The minimum SIP amount was ₹500 and the minimum lump-sum investment was ₹5,000.

Portfolio accounting requires particular care for this scheme. SBI Gold ETF was displayed at 100.16% of the portfolio, TREPS at 0.29%, and Net Current Assets & Others at -0.45%. Those three numbers mathematically reconcile to 100.00%. The ETF exposure above 100% therefore does not mean that the scheme literally owns more than 100% of its net assets in gold. Instead, it reflects the presentation of gross ETF exposure alongside liquidity assets and negative net current assets.

TREPS represents short-term liquidity exposure and should not be interpreted as an equity holding. SBI Gold Fund consequently has a fundamentally different portfolio structure from equity-oriented schemes.
