Diversification

Gold has been uncorrelated to both stock and bond markets, potentially moderating market extremes and dampening portfolio volatility.

Safe Haven

Gold has behaved as a store of value during market and inflationary crises. Gold is an asset that is no one else’s liability and cannot default.

Convenient

BAR Provides an investment similar to an investment in gold through a Trust without having to open a metal account. For most investors BAR is less expensive than buying, storing and insuring physical gold.

Historical Premium/Discount Chart
as of March 31, 2025

Chart Description

The amount the Fund is trading above or below the reported NAV expressed as a percentage of the NAV. When the fund's market price is greater than the fund's NAV, it is said to be trading at a "Premium" and the percentage is expressed as a positive number. When the fund's market price is less than the fund's NAV, it is said to be trading at a "Discount" and the percentage is expressed as a negative number.


Premium/Discount Frequency

as of March 31, 2025

Chart Description

The above chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund’s net asset value (or NAV). The market price is the last price as published by the exchange on which the Fund is listed. It is generally the average of the bid-ask prices at 4:00 PM ET. The NAV is calculated by reference to the closing price of the positions held by the Fund. The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount of the market price as percentage of the NAV. The horizontal axis shows the number of trading days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.

Possible Time Discrepancies

The primary explanation is that timing discrepancies can arise between the NAV and the closing price of the Fund. Since shares of the Fund trade on the open market, prices are affected by the constant flow of information received by investors, corporations and financial institutions. Depending on how this changing information affects investor sentiment, shares of the Fund may deviate slightly from the value of the Fund's underlying assets. As a result, shareholders may pay more than NAV when they buy Fund shares and receive less than NAV when they sell those shares, because shares are purchased and sold at current market prices. However, due to the creation and redemption process that is unique to ETFs, market makers are able to minimize these deviations from NAV by taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities.
