GraniteShares Gold Trust (BAR) Hits $500 Million in Assets Amid Recent Market Volatility

COMB, BAR, PLTM, HIPS

NEW YORK

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).
