iShares Gold Trust

The iShares Gold Trust (IAU) is an investment fund that aims to track the price of gold. When you buy shares of IAU, you're essentially owning a small piece of actual gold stored securely. It allows investors to gain exposure to gold’s potential price movements without needing to store or handle physical gold themselves. The value of your shares generally rises and falls with the price of gold on the market. IAU provides a convenient, transparent way to invest in gold through a stock-like instrument, suitable for those seeking diversification or hedging against economic uncertainties.
