Invesco Physical Gold A (SGLP.L)
The investment seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of the The London Gold Market Fixing Ltd PM Fix Price/USD. Each Gold P-ETC is a certificate which is secured by gold bullion held in J.P. Morgan Chase Bank's London vaults. The gold bullion is held in allocated gold bars with the residual amount held in unallocated gold in a segregated account with JP Morgan Chase Bank acting as Custodian and Deutsche Bank as Trustee. The investment return is achieved by holding gold bullion which is valued daily at the London PM fixing price.
