Investment strategy
The ETC securities provide you with exposure to gold, with a foreign exchange (FX) hedge to the GBP, without requiring you to possess gold in the physical form. Each ETC security relates to a specific amount of gold, known as the metal entitlement per ETC security. The issuer (we) will hold a sufficient amount of gold to cover the metal entitlement for the ETC security.
