Amundi Physical Gold ETC is an exchange-traded commodity (ETC) that provides investors with targeted exposure to the movements of the gold spot price, as measured by the LBMA Gold Price PM in USD per ounce. Launched on May 21, 2019, it serves as a liquid, flexible, and cost-efficient vehicle for gaining access to physical gold without the need for direct ownership or storage. The ETC is fully backed by physically allocated gold bars, held in segregated accounts by custodian HSBC Bank Plc, ensuring each bar is individually identified and allocated for transparency and security. Managed passively by Amundi Asset Management, it employs a physical replication method with a low expense ratio of approximately 0.12% to 0.15%, capitalizing any distributions rather than paying dividends. With assets under management exceeding €9 billion and significant fund inflows, Amundi Physical Gold ETC plays a key role in the commodities market, particularly in the precious metals sector, offering global investors a straightforward way to track gold performance amid its role as a store of value and inflation hedge.
