About

Physical gold ETF. Lower expense ratio alternative to GLD.

Bull Case

  • +Gold hedge against currency debasement and systemic risk; institutional allocations to gold trending higher for portfolio diversification
  • +Real rates declining globally as central banks ease; negative real yields reduce opportunity cost of holding gold
  • +Geopolitical tensions supporting safe-haven demand; Middle East, Russia-Ukraine conflicts driving hedging flows into gold

Bear Case

  • -Strong USD headwind; dollar strength reduces gold appeal for international investors and suppresses spot prices
  • -Opportunity cost of non-yielding asset; if rates rise significantly, fixed income becomes more attractive than gold
  • -Economic growth surprise would reduce inflation hedging demand and shift allocations to equities
