The SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) ETF tracks the price of gold bars on the OTC market. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the largest and most popular gold ETF, is an investment fund that holds physical gold to support its shares. The stock price follows the price of gold and is traded like a stock, but the vast majority of investors are not entitled to claim the underlying gold. As an asset class, gold is unique.
The economic forces that determine the price of gold are different from the economic forces that determine the price of many other asset classes, such as stocks, bonds or real estate. Gold offers investors an attractive opportunity to diversify their portfolios.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to all of the U.S. UU. Federal, state, local and foreign tax law considerations that may apply to your investment in stocks. Owning gold-based ETF stocks, such as GLD, is not the same as owning physical gold bars that you can touch and feel.
If you're an investor who doesn't plan to accept delivery and you're comfortable with a higher degree of risk, GLD may be a good way to expose yourself to the price of gold. This ETF was designed and intended to allow investors to participate in the gold market without having to accept the actual delivery of gold or face other potential barriers, such as custody or transaction costs. While trading volumes have skyrocketed in the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the market's largest ETF backed by physical gold, several smaller, less expensive products are also attracting assets, CFRA senior director of ETF and investment fund research, Todd Rosenbluth, told CNBC's ETF Edge this week. However, the amount of gold represented by each share decreases slightly over time, as the ETF charges investors an annual fee of 0.4%.
In addition, unlike the GLD, SLV or other paper investment instruments, physical metals are recognized all over the world, regardless of location, language or other potential barriers. The account holder has the right to order the bullion dealer to give the account holder an amount of physical gold equal to the amount of gold outstanding. In addition to hedging risk, gold also has specific physical attributes that make it very valuable and is an excellent diversifier of wealth and portfolio. VelocityShares' long gold ETN (UGLD) aims to provide three times the return of the S&P GSCI Gold (ER) Index in a single day.
Like the gold GLD ETF, if you buy SLV shares, you could benefit from the rise in the price of silver, while you could lose money if silver prices fall. If we look at both assets more closely, it's clear that gold ETFs and gold bars are very different investments. While gold ETFs can be a good investment, they carry a great deal of counterparty risk inherent to their chain of custody. In other words, by buying GLD stocks, one could benefit from the rise in the price of gold and could lose money as the price of gold falls.
