Overview

IAU is a grantor trust designed to closely track the spot price of gold, before fees and trust expenses.

It does this by holding physical gold bars in secured vaults and valuing the trust daily using the LBMA Gold Price PM benchmark.

The result is a simple, exchange-traded way to get gold exposure without handling or storing metal yourself.

Real Talk

You own shares in a trust that holds real gold bars in vaults. Your share price generally moves with the gold spot price, minus the fund’s expenses over time.

Yesterday I bought IShares Gold Trust (IAU) an amount equal to about 7% of my portfolio. It is the first time in my 40 years of investing I've ever invested in gold. The reason? As an American investor, I fear that the dollar is going to fall precipitously.
