Way back in 2008, UTI Wealth Builders Fund came with gold in its portfolio of an Equity oriented scheme with 65% exposure to equity. An open ended equity scheme, did not have much following till 2010 when Religare first launched a MIP with Gold in the portfolio. 10-35% in Gold ETF, upto 25% in equity and rest in debt expects to tame the evergrowing inflation.


From then onwards Taurus MIP Advantage with 5-25% Gold and equity capped at 0-25% with remaining debt (65-95%) NFO 29 June-23 July 2010
