The SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust (GLDM) is a physically backed gold ETF charging only a 0.10% expense ratio, much lower than the 0.40% fees of older gold ETFs like SPDR Gold Shares (GLD). This lower fee means investors keep more of their returns over time, which can add up to thousands of dollars in savings on larger investments. GLDM holds audited physical gold bullion and closely tracks the LBMA gold price. While GLD may be better for active options traders due to its liquidity, GLDM is generally superior for long-term buy-and-hold investors seeking cost-efficient gold exposure.
