Gyroscopic Investing

Does it make sense to hold both AAUF and IAU rather than having the entire paper gold position in just one of them?

I understand physical gold is preferable but it just isn’t feasible for me right now.

Yes, fund diversification is good to have. I use one gold ETF in some of my accounts and a different gold ETF in the others.

Thanks!

Could you specify which two?

Curious if either is on the book's list:

1. iShares Gold ETF (Ticker: IAU)
2. StreetTracks Gold ETF (Ticker: GLD)
3. Physical Swiss Gold ETF (Ticker: SGOL)
4. Sprott Physical Gold Trust (Ticker: PHYS)
5. Central Fund of Canada (Ticker: CEF)
6. Central Gold Trust of Canada (Ticker: GTU)
7. Canton Bank of Zürich ETF (Ticker: ZGLD)

Thanks

I use IAU and SGOL.

As I mentioned in the previous post AAAU is my current darling. But I also do have a decent chunk in IAU.

If it isn't real, the cheapest mngt fee, full stop.

(Unless you are swinging a very large monetary bat where trade size becomes an issue and in that case fund size/liquidity become the dominant issue.)
