Redemption unit block: 500,000 units (equivalent to an estimate of 5kg of gold), or such quantity as determined by the Manager from time to time and published on the Fund’s website.

Why invest in gold? Over the centuries, gold has been interwoven into society as a unique asset of wealth and value.
Today, it has become an essential piece of a diversified investment portfolio and is widely considered as an effective wealth preservation tool during adverse and uncertain market conditions. The commodity’s low correlation with most asset classes also allows it to be a suitable portfolio diversifier.
Interesting, ahbah. I am also looking at the same website. Our Malaysian ETF is only very small. Only holding 6 to 7,000 oz of Gold in their Vault. The largest ETF in the world holds 833 tons in the Vault which is equals to 26.6 Million Ounces.
Holdings of SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, rose 1.49% to 883.43 tonnes on Friday. Sorry, actually 883.43 Tons they are holding.
A World Gold Council survey revealed that 62% of central banks expect gold to account for a greater share of their reserves over the next five years. Simultaneously, half of the respondents anticipate a decline in the US dollar’s share of reserves, pointing to a trend of de-dollarization
Reserve Bank of India (RBI): In the July-September 2023 quarter, the RBI acquired 9 tonnes of gold, reinforcing its commitment to gold as a diversifier.
In 2022, total annual investment in gold rose by 10%, reaching 1,107 metric tons. Bar and coin demand contributed significantly to this growth, improving by 2% compared to 2021, totaling 1,217 metric tons. Despite a decline in gold ETF holdings by 110 metric tons, it was significantly lower than the 189 metric tons of net selling seen in 20211. The diverse sources of gold demand and supply counterbalanced each other, resulting in gold’s uniquely stable performance as an investment asset. Factors influencing gold investment included geopolitical risk, multi-decade high inflation (especially in Western markets), and aggressive rate hikes by central banks.
Hedge Against Inflation: Gold serves as a hedge against inflation, protecting wealth during times of rising prices. Currency Depreciation: As currencies fluctuate, gold remains a store of value. Geopolitical Uncertainty: Global tensions and uncertainties drive investor interest in gold. Interest Rates and Over-Leveraged Markets: Concerns about rising rates and market vulnerabilities contribute to gold’s appeal.
Gold is an essential asset for hedging against inflation and currency depreciation. It stands alongside other global assets, offering stability and diversification.
During the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), gold investment surged from 70 metric tons in 2007 to over 400 metric tons in the subsequent four years as investors sought wealth protection
Currently Gold Price so high, no buyer wants to buy and no seller wants to sell because our Malaysian Ringgit so low now. Hold the Gold as our safe haven for the falling Ringgit. That's why so quiet here.
I 100% agree with U. Gold protects us from falling ringgit. Gold protects us from falling Bursa. Gold protects us from rising inflation. Verdict : Gold is our greatest protector !
JPMorgan is forecasting a breakout rally for the precious metal in 2024 with a peak of $2,300 an ounce as interest rates are expected to fall, according to the bank's commodities outlook published earlier this month.
That's an interesting prediction from JPMorgan! A gold rally to $2,300 an ounce sounds promising, especially with the anticipated fall in interest rates. I'll be watching the market closely to see how it unfolds. Thanks for sharing this insight!
BUOYED by expectations of interest rate cuts, a weakening of the US dollar and a geopolitical premium, experts anticipate a CONTINUING UPTREND in the price of gold in 2024, even if inflation eases.
