iShares Gold Trust is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that generally invests at least 80% of its assets in gold bullion and in investments that have economic characteristics substantially identical to gold bullion. The Trust's objective is to reflect the performance of the price of gold. It holds physical gold bullion in a vault, and the value of its shares is intended to track the spot price of gold, less the Trust's expenses.
