How to select the best Gold ETF

The market is flooded with gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), making it difficult for investors to choose the best one

[{"selector":"#anim-5816107b-408f-42e1-b4ec-258779ec6949","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec4c3644-80a7-4b4a-b1ed-4fd02485ce2c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

all ETFs also provide the same benefits of purity, liquidity, safety, and security, as well as better tax advantages over actual gold.

[{"selector":"#anim-59817b09-499f-473d-b9a5-2f3d84e27b7b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-46e9fdb4-6cbf-4b11-8540-10aaf0993745","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

A superior ETF is one with a larger corpus since it suggests that many people are choosing to invest in that specific strategy

[{"selector":"#anim-6b5e1d76-1549-4d95-8b1a-38d4869de110","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f520d9e-f5c2-4d46-88ce-b5dc17c3bfc6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Asset Management Company (AMC) is charged a fee known as the Expense Ratio for managing the investments in a certain scheme

[{"selector":"#anim-fce457b3-3bd3-4f03-a075-4d36dc0a054d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7928d93a-04e3-40ff-a74a-3a99d614894c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the ETF frequently does not represent these fluctuations in the price of actual gold

[{"selector":"#anim-a0a50f80-7d8b-44eb-aeae-f8668f78c712","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-505b2ee1-ca5f-420f-bffc-810a921078fb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Investors can select the strategy with a lower tracking error even though an ETF's tracking error is unavoidable

[{"selector":"#anim-7947d15c-5918-40d0-9167-c2aa83aa466f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11ba1f61-e434-40a3-9faf-95b5934f1586","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Tracking error is essentially anything that causes the ETF return and the underlying commodity (in this case, gold) to differ

[{"selector":"#anim-37b6fd78-a02e-4786-a2ff-e545b943f975","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7e2c4b2b-3a18-4e52-b3f8-7c974997ceed","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Selecting an ETF with strong volumes and active trading on exchanges is crucial.

[{"selector":"#anim-c8654df5-2d9d-4622-8db1-516fe3851821","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e3df61f-9f98-42ae-a8fd-a55c58058264","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Experts contend that any liquid asset must be quickly convertible into cash. Impact Cost is a highly helpful metric for assessing an ETF's liquidity

[{"selector":"#anim-51d9e426-fa3f-4351-afff-157adc64f58c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-624bb67a-3bcd-4161-96ee-0c34496b7b18","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

According to Kavalireddi, the corpus, traded volumes, expense ratio, tracking error, and impact cost have all decreased

[{"selector":"#anim-adb9edfc-971f-43a7-b564-afceaa779328","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-649063eb-d6b6-4d94-84c2-267c0abddf80","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
