Gold Shares SPDR
SPDR Gold Shares (ticker GLD) is a large, liquid exchange-traded fund that aims to reflect the price of gold bullion. It holds allocated physical gold stored in secure vaults and offers investors an efficient way to gain exposure to the gold price without owning metal directly. With a market capitalisation around $51.72 billion, GLD is commonly used for portfolio diversification, inflation hedging and as a store of value during market stress. The fund does not pay dividends; returns depend on changes in the gold price less management fees and operating costs. Investors should be aware of price volatility, potential tracking differences and jurisdictional tax rules that can differ from equities. GLD may suit investors seeking straightforward commodity exposure within brokerage accounts, but it is not appropriate for those seeking income.
