Key Features
- The investment objective of SPDR Gold Trust (the "Trust") is for the shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the Trust's expenses.
- The Trust was the first US-traded gold ETF and the first US-listed ETF backed by a physical asset.
- For many investors, the costs associated with buying shares of the Trust in the secondary market and the payment of the Trust's ongoing expenses may be lower than the costs associated with buying, storing and insuring physical gold in a traditional allocated gold bullion account.
