Investors turning to ETCs for gold exposure amid ongoing market volatility
Please see below comments from Jatin Patel, Head of Wealth Management at the Royal Mint:
“With global equity and commodity markets in turmoil today and gold probing the $1,700 level, there is no doubt investors are raising their allocations to gold in the search for downside protection.
“We are already seeing investors positioning themselves using the Royal Mint Physical Gold ETC (RMAU) in anticipation of this downside risk. On Friday volumes in RMAU spiked 383% higher than a normal trading day.
“Investors can use gold to hedge systemic financial risk and are voting with their feet by using RMAU. This is the only European Gold ETC that custodies its gold with The Royal Mint, a non-financial/banking firm, backed by the UK state. Gold is one of the few assets that neither reacts to oil demand or disease and has traditionally proved very stable during volatile times. It is also universally popular, be it with private investors or institutional investors, and is bought around the globe as a buffer against crisis.”
The Royal Mint partnered with white label ETF specialist HANetf last month on the launch of its first bullion-backed ETC, listed on the London, Frankfurt and Milan exchanges.
