Gold fund is a derivative tool of gold investment and the abbreviation of gold investment fund. Gold investment mutual funds are established by fund sponsors and subscribed by investors. The fund management company is responsible for specific investment operations, and it is a mutual fund with gold or gold derivatives as the investment medium.
So gold fund and physical gold are two different things. Although they are different, if we want to talk about the value of investing in gold, we should also talk about the value of investing in gold. Which is better, buying physical gold or gold funds?
First, in terms of transaction fees. If we invest in physical gold, especially buying pure gold in a gold shop, we need to pay a handling fee, which is almost 15 yuan gram, which can be said to be uneconomical to buy; But the funds that buy gold are different. A lot of expenses can be avoided and the management fee is low. Generally speaking, the cost will be less than 5% lower than other channels.
Second, in terms of investment efficiency. Generally speaking, gold fluctuates greatly during the day, which is a very good investment opportunity for short-term investors. We can use the ETF of gold to make intraday price difference, which greatly improves the efficiency of making money. If you just buy physical gold, it will take some time to get rid of it, let alone make a difference.
Third, from the investment threshold. At present, 1g gold needs several hundred pieces, and no store is willing to sell 1g gold. It usually starts with 10g. At this time, the low threshold advantage of the gold fund has been highlighted. No matter how much money you can buy, the profit is calculated according to the proportion of your investment.
