SGOL in Focus

abrdn Physical Gold Shares ETF tracks the price of gold bullion. The Trust holds allocated physical gold bullion bars stored in secure vaults in London. It charges 17 bps in annual fees per year (see: all the Precious Metals ETFs here).

Why the Move

Gold has been an area to watch lately, given the surge in the metal price. The bullion rallied to $3,000 for the first time amid the ongoing trade tariff disputes and recessionary fears, which spurred demand for the yellow metal as a safe-haven investment option. Additionally, the resurge bets, stating that the Fed will cut rates more than expected this year, have fueled the gold price.
