Many investors regard gold as a safe haven. Especially during financial turbulence, it has proven capable of stabilizing equity and/or bond portfolios.
An investment in gold is easily done with listed products, such as ETFs or ETC. These investment products closely track the spot price of gold, after taking into account management fees. When opposed to a direct exchange of gold bullion, the advantage of exchange-traded gold products is the modest bid-ask spread. This is due primarily to the massive 12.5kg bars stored and transacted at the fund level. Currently, gold is followed by 20 ETFs and/or ETC.
In addition to exchange-traded products on gold in US dollars, there are also products hedged against currency risk. These products are also taken into account in our comparison.
