Description & usage
This commodity ETF/trust is designed to track the price of gold and to follow the gold spot price (XAUUSD) as closely as practical. Performance is driven primarily by movements in the gold price, minus ongoing fees (TER). It is used globally to access gold through an exchange-traded instrument without buying physical metal directly. Because it focuses on a single commodity, diversification is lower than in broad commodity baskets.
