The Best Gold ETFs

The table below compares the performance and other essential indicators like dividend yield and expense ratio of 21 Gold ETFs.

Gold ETFs invest in physical gold or in derivatives that track the price of gold. These ETFs provide investors with an easy and convenient way to invest in gold without physically buying and storing the metal.

Gold ETFs typically aim to track the spot price of gold, which is the metal's current market price. The ETFs either hold physical gold in vaults or invest in derivatives such as futures contracts and options, which are financial instruments that track the price of gold.

Gold ETFs are considered passive investments, as they aim to track the price of gold and do not require active management. They are also considered a relatively easy way to invest in gold, as they have lower expenses than physically buying and storing gold. They are also popular among investors seeking to diversify their portfolios or hedge against inflation or market downturns.
