Notably, Nippon India ETF Gold BeES (GOLDBEES) impact cost stood at just 2 basis points (bps), significantly below the industry average of 17 bps (ex-Nippon).

Similarly, Nippon India Silver ETF (SILVERBEES) reported an impressively low impact cost of 6 bps, compared to the industry average of 15 bps (ex-Nippon).

A Senior spokesperson from Nippon India Mutual Fund said. “In an asset class like ETFs, liquidity is crucial. Lower impact costs make a material difference to investors, especially when entering or exiting large positions. Our leadership in the space ensures that investors have access to one of the most efficient ETF platforms in the country.”
NIMF’s dominance extends beyond just festive trading days. For the financial year 2025–26, the fund house captured a robust nearly 52% share of the industry’s average daily volume in Gold and Silver ETFs. Moreover, NIMF boasts the largest ETF investor base in the country with 1.8 crore investors as of March 2026 —comprising 45% of the total ETF investors across the industry.
