## Summary

iShares Gold EUR Hedged ETF (CH) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, launched in 2009. It tracks the LBMA Gold Price PM Hedged to EUR - EUR — the price of gold. You buy and sell it through a share-dealing account or platform during stock-market hours, like a share. Its ongoing charge is 0.22% a year — about £22 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you. Income from its investments is reinvested inside the fund, so it shows up as a rising price rather than cash paid to you. It is currency-hedged to euros, not to the pound: it aims to remove most of the effect of exchange-rate moves against euros, so a holder who counts in pounds still has currency risk.

Latest close: **€196.84** (13/11/2026).
