The impressive one-year performance may encourage many investors to consider investing in Gold ETFs. However, making an investment decision based on one-year returns can be short-sighted. Moreover, not all these funds have been in existence for more than one to two years.

One should ideally look at longer durations, three to 10 years, for a clearer picture of a fund's past performance.

Over longer periods, funds undergo multiple market cycles, offering insights into how resilient a fund and its manager are. That said, here's a look at Gold ETFs that have been in existence for 10 years and how they have performed and multiplied investors' ₹1 lakh investment over this duration.

Gold ETF returns in 3 years

On the AMFI portal, there are only nine Gold ETFs with returns for three years or more. All these schemes have delivered an identical annualised return of around 31% in the three years ending October 8.

A lump sum investment of ₹1 lakh in any of these ETFs would have grown to approximately ₹2.24 lakh in three years.

Gold ETF returns in 10 years

Gold ETFs have delivered an identical annualised return of around 15% in the five years ending October 8.

A lump sum investment of ₹1 lakh in any of these ETFs would have grown to approximately ₹4 lakh in 10 years.

Gold ETF returns in 5 years

Gold ETFs have delivered an identical annualised return of around 18% in the three years ending October 8.

A lump sum investment of ₹1 lakh in any of these ETFs would have grown to approximately ₹2.28 lakh in five years.

The following table shows the performance of these nine Gold ETFs over different time periods along with their Daily AUM:
