FAQs

  • Where is the metal stored?

    The physical gold bullion for GOLD is held in the vault(s) of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in London. The vault is audited twice a year by the auditor Inspectorate. All audit reports are made available in the resources section below. Each gold bar in the vault is itemised in a bar-list which is also available in the resources section below.

  • How is the management fee paid?

    Each unit in GOLD comes with an entitlement to an amount of physical bullion. This amount was 0.093512543 fine troy ounces as at 1 January 2021. The entitlement is reduced daily by a management fee of 0.40% per annum.

  • How do I redeem units for the physical metal?

    To redeem for physical gold, an investor needs to:

    1. Complete and send a redemption form
    2. Open an unallocated bullion account with an authorised bullion dealer and
    3. Pay a redemption fee of up to $1,000 for each redemption.

    Depending on the quantity of the order, investors may find that selling units in the secondary market is a more cost-efficient option, especially for small quantities.

  • How can I use GOLD in a portfolio?

    Gold has a low to negative level of correlation with other asset classes, such as equities and fixed income, and can therefore be used to enhance a portfolio’s overall risk/return characteristics through the benefits of diversification.

    Gold has historically performed well during periods of high equity market volatility due to its safe-haven status and can therefore be used as an event risk hedge.

    For centuries gold has been used as a store of value and is independent of the value of any fiat currency. As such, gold is commonly cited as a hedge against inflation.

    Gold can be used as a strategic investment based on its own fundamentals, which relate to its unique supply and demand characteristics. Supply relates to both mine production and available above-ground stock. Demand primarily comes from:

    1. Consumers; in the form of jewellery, bars and coins
    2. Industrial users; such as electronics component manufacturers
    3. Investors; including direct holders and ETF investors, and
    4. Central banks; who maintain large gold reserves
