It tracks the LBMA Gold Price PM ($/ozt) — the price of gold. You buy and sell it through a share-dealing account or platform during stock-market hours, like a share. Its ongoing charge is 0.35% a year — about £35 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you. Income from its investments is reinvested inside the fund, so it shows up as a rising price rather than cash paid to you. It is currency-hedged: it aims to remove most of the effect of exchange-rate moves against the pound. Latest close: **£90.05** (30/09/2026). ## Key facts | Fact | Value | |---|---| | Ticker (LSE) | SGLS | | ISIN | XS2183935605 | | Category | Gold & commodities | | Type | ETC | | Provider | Invesco | | Tracks | LBMA Gold Price PM ($/ozt) | | Income | Accumulating | | Ongoing charge | 0.35% a year (£35 per £10,000) | | Fund size | £301m | | Launched | 2020 | | Domicile | Ireland | ## Past returns (periods to 30/09/2026) After the fund's ongoing charges.
