Introduction to Gold

Gold is considered the ultimate form of wealth preservation. It generally retains its value over time, making it an extremely important asset for investment purposes. If stocks, bonds, or other investments are losing value, gold typically maintains its value or rises in value.
Gold as an investment is not a new concept. Today, gold is traded on exchanges and is traded frequently by a variety of investors, traders, and institutions.
Despite its traditional status as a store of wealth, gold plays an increasingly important role in today's global economy. It is increasingly used in technology, medicine, and other industries.

Gold ETFs: Overview

Gold ETFs can be classified as either physically backed or synthetically backed. ETFs backed by gold bullion are known as physically backed while ETFs backed by futures contracts are referred to as synthetically backed. Physical ETFs have only one counterparty risk, that being their custodian or trustee. Synthetic ETFs, on the other hand, have multiple counterparties.

Investors can choose to invest in synthetic ETFs for more active trading strategies or in the case of physical ETFs for investments that are simpler and more straightforward.
