Objective and strategy

The fund aims to track the performance of the price of gold bullion, with a currency hedge against movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate, before fees and expenses. The BetaSahes Gold Bullion ETF invests its assets into the purchase of physical gold bullion (i.e., bars of gold) from the National Bank of Canada, one of Canada's oldest and largest prudentially regulated banks.
