New ETF option from State Street GLDM

Post by ppnewbie » Fri Apr 03, 2020 11:28 pm

.18 expense ratio each share is 1/100 of an ounce. Looks like it could be a winner. State Street plus lowest ER on the market.

AAAU. Lowest counter party risk and easily redeemable.

At a certain portfolio size does it make any sense to buy multiple gold ETFs to spread counter party risk or is that splitting hairs?

No harm in that. Go for it.

i agree .... i have about 250k tied up in gold right now and if i was smart i would use gld and say iau since hsbc is in such poor shape .... but i didn't think about it when i bought back in .... but it would have been smarter for me to have split it rather than all gld .

Does anyone know about the gldm custodian ICBC? GLD’s HSBC seems to be in a precarious position. I also think that ICBC is a State owned Chinese bank, which makes me nervous.

I'm curious if you have every redeemed your AAAU shares into physical gold. I went to the site I did not quite understand how the process worked and how much it cost.
