FGDL aims to provide an ESG approach to gold investing. The fund holds physical gold bars at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London branch. Each share represents 1/100th of the spot price for gold. The gold held by the custodian are bars that meet the LBMAs responsible sourcing Programme for gold. Such a program aims to protect the integrity of the global gold supply chain. Refiners must demonstrate efforts to respect the environment globally and combat money laundering, terrist financing and human rights abuses. As such, the gold bars held by the fund will be those refined after January 1, 2012, when minimum international ethical standards were enacted. FGDL shares provide an efficient, cost-effective way to hold physical gold. Investors should note, any realized gains will be taxed as a collectible. Prior to May 19, 2023, the fund traded under the ticker FGLD, resolving a ticker tussle with the World Gold Council.
