How it works

The fund aims to track the performance of gold. The fund currently achieves this by investing in Invesco Physical Gold ETC, an Exchange Traded Certificate (ETC) which is managed by Invesco Physical Markets PLC (Invesco PMP). Each gold P-ETC is a certificate which is secured in gold bullion.

This ETC tracks the gold spot price and is backed by physical gold. It has been designed to provide investors with a return equivalent to movement in the gold spot price, less fees.

A currency risk arises for a euro investor.
