While physical gold can be a strong investment, it comes with challenges such as the need for storage space and security measures, which add logistical complexities and extra costs. Gold ETFs, on the other hand, provide the same exposure to gold without the need to handle or store the physical metal.

SPDR® Gold Shares are listed on the NYSE and can also be traded on the SGX. By tracking the spot price of gold, the ETF allows investors to participate in the performance of gold, without the burden of owning physical gold bullion or gold coin. It’s a practical and efficient way to gain exposure to the spot price of gold. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gcnfsXhN #DollarsAndSense #Gold #Investing State Street Global Advisors SGX Group

Offering yields of 5% or more, they seem compelling compared to the 3-4% typically available from Singapore government securities. However, higher yields aren't the only factor to consider. In this article, we explore 5 critical considerations for Singaporean investors before investing in U.S. Treasuries. Through the Moomoo SG platform, we can easily access and invest in a wide range of U.S. treasury products.
