iShares Gold Producers

ETF description

This ETF is designed to give investors exposure to companies that are primarily involved in the production of gold. Rather than investing in physical gold, the ETF tracks the performance of firms that mine, refine, and sell gold.

This ETF could appeal to investors who are interested in gaining exposure to the gold market without directly holding the metal itself. It may be suitable for those who believe that gold prices will rise and want to benefit from the potential growth of companies in the gold production sector.

Index details

The Gold Producers index offers a specialized measure of performance for companies engaged in the production of gold.
