Gold ETFs

90 ETFs · AUM: $338.36B

Gold ETFs offer a convenient way to invest in physical gold or gold-related assets without the hassle of buying, storing, and insuring gold bars or coins. These funds track the spot price of gold bullion and are widely used as portfolio diversifiers, inflation hedges, and safe-haven investments during periods of economic uncertainty.

The most established gold ETFs include GLD (SPDR Gold Shares), the largest and most liquid gold ETF with over $60 billion in assets, IAU (iShares Gold Trust), which offers a lower expense ratio, and GLDM (SPDR Gold MiniShares), designed for cost-conscious long-term holders with one of the lowest fees in the category. All three hold physical gold in secure vaults.

Gold ETFs are ideal for investors seeking a hedge against currency debasement, geopolitical risk, or stock market downturns. Historically, gold has shown low correlation with equities, making it a valuable component of diversified portfolios. Financial advisors commonly recommend allocating 5-10% of a portfolio to gold. Keep in mind that gold produces no income, so returns depend entirely on price appreciation driven by supply, demand, and macroeconomic conditions.
