Precious metals ETFs are exchange-traded funds that track the price of precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. They provide investors with exposure to the price movement of these metals without having to own them physically.

Precious metals ETFs invest in bullion or derivative instruments such as futures contracts to mirror the performance of the underlying metal. They are usually structured as passive investments and aim to track the price of the metal they are linked to as closely as possible.
