🟡 GOLD ETFs SURGE — WHAT SHOULD INVESTORS WATCH?

Gold ETFs have become a major way for investors to gain exposure to gold, with the global gold ETF market reaching around $309B in assets.

🔑 Key Points:
• Gold ETFs collectively reached about $309B
• SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) has more than $174B in assets
• iShares Gold Trust (IAU) holds about $80B
• Physical gold ETFs generally hold the same underlying asset
• Annual fees can significantly affect long-term returns
• Bid-ask spreads and liquidity matter more for active traders

📊 Market Insight:
Because many gold ETFs hold physical gold, the biggest differences often come from fees, trading costs and liquidity rather than the underlying asset itself.

🟡 Gold ETFs remain a major gateway to institutional and retail gold exposure.
