The Investment Case for Gold and Investing in Gold Through SPDR Gold Shares ETF

Gold is often regarded by many as a mainstream strategic investment that has historically delivered long-term returns in various market conditions. Gold’s diverse sources of demand, both cyclical and counter cyclical, have been the source of its low historical correlation to many other financial assets. The unique status of gold may appeal to investors looking for ways to manage portfolio risk and to benefit from its historical capital appreciation. As the financial markets continue to face a certain amount of uncertainty in the second half of 2021, including rising virus variant cases, low interest rate environment and inflationary risks, we examine how strategic allocation to gold can help investors navigate these uncertainties. 

In this session, State Street SPDR ETFs will discuss the investment case and outlook for gold, and how investors can gain exposure to the gold market through ETF.
