Should You Invest in This NFO?
Investing in an NFO makes sense if:
• You seek exposure to gold as a hedge against market volatility or inflation.
• You prefer an ETF-based, passive investment approach to precious metals.
• You are comfortable with very high risk linked to commodity price fluctuations.
However, NFOs come with no historical performance data, making them more suitable for informed and long-term investors.
