Physical Gold Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs)
The Royal Mint was the first sovereign mint in Europe to launch a physically gold-backed ETC, listed on the London Stock Exchange. In partnership with HANetf, The Royal Mint has now launched a total of three additional physically backed gold ETCs.
The Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold ETC
The Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold GBP Hedged ETC
The Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold EUR Hedged ETC
The Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold CHF Hedged ETC
Gold-backed ETCs allow investors to generally track the price of gold, giving them access to the properties and tangibility of owning physical gold without the need to arrange for storage and insurance separately. These gold backed funds seek to combine the flexibility and ease of stock-market trading with the benefits of physical gold ownership.
What Are The Features?
Responsibly Sourced
Each of the ETCs is 100% backed by London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) post-2019 responsibly sourced gold Good Delivery bars, and a growing number of post-2022 bars.*
Custody at The Royal Mint
Each of the ETCs is be backed by physical gold bars held in custody by The Royal Mint at its highly secure vault in Llantrisant, Wales. This means the gold is held outside of London and the banking system.
