Demand for gold has been increasing in recent months. The Invesco Physical Gold ETC has captured $190 million of net inflows since 1 October this year, while more than $1 billion of net assets have gone into all gold ETPs listed in Europe1.
Chris Mellor, Head of EMEA ETF Commodity Product Management at Invesco, said, “Gold could provide useful diversification for investors who are worried about volatile equity markets and the possible impact of slowing economic growth, trade wars and Brexit. One of the big attractions of gold as an investment is that it tends to behave differently than other asset classes, especially equities. For investors considering adding exposure, we’ve just made it even more attractive from a cost perspective.”
The Invesco Physical Gold ETC is designed to provide the performance of the gold price, less the annual fee. Investments are used to purchase physical gold bars, which are held in an allocated account and stored securely in the London vaults of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. Investing in a gold ETC is much more cost-efficient and practical than buying and holding gold, which involves arranging transportation, storage and insurance. The ETC is one of the firm’s ’portfolio funds‘ range. These exchange traded products are designed to provide simple, cost-effective and accurate tracking of major commodity, equity and fixed income benchmarks. Many of these products have the lowest ongoing charges versus other competitors in Europe.
