In plain English
Invesco Physical Gold GBP Hedged ETC is an exchange-traded commodity (ETC) from Invesco, launched in 2020.
It tracks the LBMA Gold Price PM - USD - Benchmark Price Return — 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 0.35% a year — about £35 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: it aims to remove most of the effect of exchange-rate moves against the pound.
Gold & commodities: Gold, silver, oil and other raw materials. They pay no dividends or interest — returns come only from price changes.
