GLDM - 0.18 exp. ratio 'Gold minishares'
Between GLDM, IAUF, and AAAU it seems a number of different gold products are getting wheeled out to help get money into gold again. Noticed this today http://spdrgoldshares.com/media/GLD/fil ... mation.pdf - apparently GLDM got listed yesterday (Jun 26th)
Seems like an interesting alternative to IAU. If I'm understanding things right so far there's:
GLDM - 0.18 exp. ratio, still reading to see what the catches are.
IAU - 0.25 sponsor fee - is this calculated the same as the expense ratio?
GLD - 0.4 exp. ratio
SGOL - 0.39 exp. ratio
PHYS - 0.46 exp. ratio
IAUF - 0.31 exp ratio - fairly new, really uncertain about it's 25% allocation though.
AAAU - new, not listed yet.
Yes I know there's differences in how whether the gold is allocated/unallocated/allows for delivery.

A couple of these are brand new to me. Thank you.

Hey Sophie, GLDM has shown up at TD Ameritrade as a fee-free ETF !!! Now we can buy it easily in our Lively HSA in small bites!
Re: GLDM - 0.18 exp. ratio 'Gold minishares'
No way that's AWESOME!!!!!!
Now all I have to pay fees for is VTI and VBR. I like SPTL for bonds, but I don't like any of their free stock ETF offerings.

When I have my fill of GLDM in TD Ameritrade, my plan is to go get some SPLG, it tracks the S&P500 pretty well

What's the difference between GLD and GLDM?
Re: GLDM - 0.18 exp. ratio 'Gold minishares'
Good question...mine too. I read an article about them and was kinda surprised at the result. It is the same trust structure and issuing company as GLD. Purportedly the only difference is the fee and the share size basis. It is expected that GLD will remain popular with institutional investors where liquidity costs can be much higher than fees while GLDM is aimed specially at the retail market.
In sum, if you are looking for gold exposure via an ETF this one is a no brainer. Personally, sales gimmicks aside, I believe there is no actual substantive difference amongst the various gold ETFs.

When you say "liquidity costs", does than mean the bid-ask spread on the ETF?Kbg wrote: ↑Fri Jul 06, 2018 10:05 amGood question...mine too.

Ahh, finally a commission-free way to invest in paper gold with my Roth at TDA! A little late for me, but maybe I'll buy some anyway. Thanks for posting this.
Don't agree with me too strongly or I'm going to change my mind
