How Does Fidelity’s Gold ETF Work?

Fidelity’s Gold ETF works by giving you exposure to the price of physical gold without requiring you to buy or store the metal yourself.

It lets you invest in gold through a regular brokerage account.

Here is how it works:

  1. The fund holds gold bars.
    These bars are stored in secure vaults, and the ETF’s share price moves with the market price of gold.

  2. You buy shares just like a stock.
    You can purchase or sell shares during market hours through Fidelity or any brokerage.

  3. Each share represents a small amount of gold.
    You do not own specific bars but you do own a slice of the fund’s total gold holdings.

  4. Costs are low.
    The fund charges an annual fee called an expense ratio, which covers storage and management.

  5. No delivery of gold.
    You cannot redeem shares for physical gold, so this investment is for price exposure only.

In short:


Fidelity’s Gold ETF tracks the price of gold, trades like a stock, and gives you an easy way to add gold to your portfolio without dealing with storage or shipping.
