Goldbees VS. Goldcase

General
1

I am planning to buy gold for long term investment. The invest and forget mindset.

I am trying to decide between Goldbees and Goldcase.

Which would be the better option?

2

which one has lower costs/expense ratio?

Another thing to keep in mind is whether you can pledge GOLDCASE with Zerodha for margin or not. I had MID150CASE which I had to sell and get MID150BEES for this exact same reason.
Yes but the primary decision should be based on Expense Ratio and current premium running in both the ETFs.

Funny, I know about the premiums in ETFs, but I don’t know how to calculate it actually.
If anyone has some light to shed on this matter…it will be helpful to many of us.

Cheers!

You can find premium price of a ETF by looking INAV of that ETF and compare it to the current market price of that ETF. You can see INAV on NSE website under Market data > ETF > and choose the desired ETF you want to find the INAV.
A premium exists when the market price exceeds the INAV, meaning the ETF is trading higher than the value of its underlying assets.
Or you can also check on AMC website.

With the new NSE web interface, I had to search for the symbol. :mag:

SGBs are better,

  • No expense ratio
  • No real tracking error
  • If you do F&O, this counts as cash margin not as collateral
  • May trade at a discount

Cons of SGB

  • Not actually gold backed so default risk is relatively high
  • Government can change taxation willy nilly
  • May trade at a premium

It seems you are an Investor , , if dollar is replaced by Gold standard it would be better to have Gold ETF , if you want to have Physical or SGB’s i think its not worth for very long period of time

Yes. Have you never heard of Governments defaulting or Executive order 6102?

@Anuj4
This i-NAV is based on previous day’s price right? And whatever gold has moved up or down today, I need to adjust that much to compare with today’s current market price to get actual premium or discount…

example
Goldbees iNAV as on 06/02/26 closing shows as 124.14 and closing price is 125.04 (premium of 0.724%)
Similarly, GOLDCASE iNAV is 23.88 and closing is 23.79 (discount of 0.376%)

Now tomorrow, we need to check how much gold has moved and adjust the iNAV accordingly and again calculated the premium/discount as the case may be.

Curious to know how to get the information of amount of Gold backing each NAV? It would be easier to compare all the ETFs/BEEs
