Milestone achieved less than two years after ETF debuted
The GraniteShares
Gold Trust (NYSE Arca: BAR), one of the lowest-cost* gold ETFs on
the market, has surpassed $500 million in assets under management (AUM)
on the heels of recent market uncertainty. BAR debuted in August
2017 as a cost-effective vehicle to invest in physical gold and
trades at an expense ratio of just 17.49 basis points.
Since inception, BAR has continued to gain momentum as more investors
recognize the benefits of diversifying their portfolios with gold. BAR’s
low-cost and convenient ETF structure make it an attractive choice for
investors seeking a non-correlated asset to hedge against recent stock
market volatility.
“We’re delighted to see investors embrace our low-cost gold offering in
today’s volatile market,” said Will Rhind, Founder and CEO of
GraniteShares. “From the beginning, our mission at GraniteShares has
been to provide unique solutions for common pain points experienced by
all investors. BAR’s swift accumulation of assets is a testament that
our approach of bringing disruptive products to market with better
structures and lower fees is resonating with the ETF investing
community.”
BAR is part of GraniteShares’ growing ETF suite. The firm also offers
two broad-based commodity ETFs (COMB
and COMG),
the lowest-cost** physical platinum ETF (PLTM)
and a high alternative income-focused fund that invests in pass-through
securities (HIPS).
