Powered by TradingViewWhat does SPDR GOLD TRUST do?
SPDR Gold Shares is a physically backed exchange-traded fund that provides investors with direct exposure to the price of gold bullion. It achieves this by holding physical gold bars in secure vaults, with each share representing a fractional undivided beneficial ownership interest in the trust's gold holdings, equivalent to approximately 1/10th of an ounce of gold. The fund tracks the LBMA Gold Price PM, ensuring its net asset value closely mirrors spot gold prices through a creation and redemption process managed by authorized participants. As a grantor trust issued by State Street Corporation under the SPDR brand, SPDR Gold Shares simplifies access to the gold market by eliminating the logistical challenges of purchasing, storing, and insuring physical gold. This passive investment vehicle offers high liquidity and serves as a diversification tool, given gold's unique role as a commodity distinct from equities, bonds, or real estate, appealing to those seeking portfolio balance amid varying economic conditions. Founded in 2004, it stands as a prominent option for gold market participation worldwide.
