How to compare gold and commodity funds
What differs from one fund to the next. None of it says which fund to choose.
- What it follows
- The index a tracker copies, or the strategy a manager follows. Two funds on the same index hold much the same companies. Index funds
- Ongoing charge
- Taken from the fund’s value every year. 0.20% is about £20 a year on £10,000, before any platform fee. Ongoing charges figure
- Income
- Accumulating share classes reinvest income inside the fund; distributing ones pay it out as cash. Accumulating or distributing
- Currency
- Hedged share classes aim to take out currency moves against the pound; unhedged ones keep them. Currency hedging
- Returns after inflation
- Past returns with UK inflation (CPIH) taken out, dated and sourced. They say nothing certain about the future. How real returns are worked out
- Holdings overlap
- How much of two funds is the same companies at the same weights. A high figure means owning both is close to owning one. Compare two funds
Specific to gold and commodity funds: Commodity products pay no income; their return comes only from the price. Check whether the product holds the metal or uses derivatives.

Questions people ask
What are gold and commodity funds?
Gold, silver, oil and other raw materials. They pay no dividends or interest — returns come only from price changes.
How many gold and commodity funds does Fundology track?
Fundology holds a recorded closing price for 155 UK-listed gold and commodity funds open to UK investors. The list changes as funds launch and close.
How much do gold and commodity funds cost?
The typical (median) ongoing charge among the gold and commodity funds Fundology tracks is 0.40% a year, about £40 a year on every £10,000. The lowest is 0.11%. The charge is taken from the fund’s value rather than billed, and a lower charge does not mean a higher return.
What is worth checking when comparing gold and commodity funds?
The index or strategy each fund follows, its ongoing charge, whether it reinvests income or pays it out, currency hedging, its size, and how much its holdings overlap with funds already held.
How is this list ordered?
By fund size, largest first, unless another order is chosen. Size says how widely a fund is held, not how good it is, and no order on this page is a recommendation.
