Explore the potential of gold through the SPDR® Gold Shares. The world’s largest and most liquid gold-backed ETF offers strategic, long-term investors access to the gold market.1
Gold has a dual nature as it is both an investment and a consumer good. Gold’s diverse sources of demand, both cyclical and counter cyclical, have been the source of its low historical correlation to financial assets and its unique ability to provide key strategic portfolio functions.
What Can Gold Do For You?
Gold’s investment characteristics, rooted in multiple sources of demand across global economic and business cycles, may help gold serve multiple roles in an investor’s portfolio — during good times and bad.
Gold is Not Just Another Commodity
Gold is often classified as a commodity alongside other precious metals or broader commodities, like oil and real estate. But with gold’s unique fundamentals and characteristics, it may warrant its own classification in an investor’s portfolio.
Choose Gold in an ETF
Investors can access gold in many different ways. But gold-backed ETFs offer flexibility, transparency, and accessibility to the gold market with the cost-effective liquidity benefits of an ETF wrapper.
