Description: GLD SPDR Gold Shares September 25, 2025

The SPDR® Gold Shares Trust (NYSE ARCA: GLD) physically holds gold bars and periodically issues “Baskets” of shares in exchange for gold deposits, while also redeeming Baskets by delivering gold to shareholders. Its stated investment objective is for the share price to track the spot price of gold bullion, less the fund’s operating expenses, offering investors a direct, low-cost exposure to the metal.

Key quantitative details (as of Q3 2024) include an expense ratio of 0.40%, total assets under management of roughly $71 billion, and an average daily trading volume exceeding 30 million shares, which together contribute to a tight tracking error of under 0.1% versus the London Fix gold price.

Gold’s price dynamics are driven primarily by real US interest rates (the inverse relationship is a well-documented base rate), global inflation expectations, and central-bank balance-sheet activity-especially purchases by the U.S. Treasury and emerging-market sovereign funds, which have historically added a premium of 1-2% to spot gold returns during periods of heightened monetary easing.
