Gold exposure via ETFs
With the gold price having recently breached the $3,000 per ounce level and with market volatility at heightened levels we have spent the last few days delving into the asset class. Its history in global trade and markets, the current events affecting its price and its role in a diversified portfolio.
Through our podcast series ‘the ETF Investor’ you can find a series of discussions on the topic. From how ETFs have made it possible to invest directly in the metal, including how this is practically managed behind the scenes. As well as what is happening at a mining company level and the FTSE/JSE resources index.
