Gold fund is a fund that tracks the real-time gold price at home or abroad. Buying a gold fund will not get physical gold, and the assets of a gold fund are not all held gold. Fund assets will also invest in a small amount of bank deposits, bonds and other assets, so the price of gold funds is different from gold.

At present, the gold fund mainly tracks the real-time gold price, so the price fluctuation of the gold fund is positively related to the gold price. Gold prices rose, gold funds followed suit, gold prices fell and gold funds fell. The rise and fall of gold prices are influenced by the dollar, inflation, world political situation and speculation.

There are OTC funds and OTC funds at present. OTC funds are purchased in official website, a fund company and a third-party payment platform. OTC funds are mainly traded in gold ETFs, and it is necessary to open a stock account or an OTC fund account in a securities company to trade.
