Invesco Physical Gold ETC (SGLD)

Overview

Invesco Physical Gold ETC is an innovative exchange traded commodity designed to offer investors a direct investment opportunity in the gold market. This instrument precisely tracks the spot price of gold, particularly the LBMA Gold Price PM in USD, while deducting applicable fees. The ETC is comprehensively backed by physical gold bullion, which is carefully stored in secure vaults in London managed by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, ensuring a strong collateralization without the use of synthetic replication methods. Established in 2009 and domiciled in Ireland, Invesco Physical Gold ETC is issued by Invesco Physical Markets PLC. It employs a physical full replication strategy, maintaining actual gold bars in a segregated account that adheres to the LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance standards. This makes it a cost-effective option for investors looking to access the gold market efficiently, influenced by various dynamics including central bank purchases, demand for jewellery particularly in China and India, and its value as a diversification mechanism due to its low correlation with equities. Additionally, the product is UCITS-eligible and Shariah-compliant, catering to a diverse range of investors who prefer not to deal with the challenges of physical storage or delivery complexities. Invesco Physical Gold ETC has become a significant option within the European precious metals investment sphere.
