About SPDR Gold Shares
The SPDR Gold Trust aims to mirror the market price movements of physical gold bullion, after deducting its operational expenses. This pioneering fund was the first gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) to be introduced in the U.S., and also the initial U.S.-listed ETF to be backed by a tangible asset. For a significant number of investors, the combined expenses of purchasing GLD shares on the secondary market and covering the Trust's continuous fees could be lower than the expenditures associated with directly acquiring, safeguarding, and insuring physical gold within a conventional allocated bullion account.
Investment Strategy
This exchange-traded fund provides investors with targeted market exposure through a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of securities. The fund employs a systematic investment approach designed to track its underlying index or achieve its stated investment objectives. By pooling investor capital and investing across multiple securities, the fund offers individual investors access to institutional-quality portfolio management and diversification that would be difficult to achieve independently.
