Valuation Metrics
Description
BAR holds allocated physical gold bars in a London vault with custody provided by ICBC Standard Bank and uses a grantor trust structure that prevents trustees from lending the metal. Because the fund owns physical bullion, its performance closely tracks spot gold and offers exposure comparable to other large physically backed gold funds. Investors should note the collectible tax treatment of long-term gains and evaluate issuer, custodian, vault location and all-in trading costs when comparing alternatives.
