Since gold assets in other gold ETFs can be stored in locations like New York, London, and now Singapore (AGOL), this Swiss gold ETF gives investors the opportunity to diversify their “gold-holding” locations by having their gold held in a different location.

The fund was launched in September of 2009 and the price of the fund correlates with the spot price of gold less the Trusts expenses.
