SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) both track gold bullion but differ mainly in fees, share price, and trading features. GLD, with a 0.40% expense ratio, suits traders needing deep options and large trades, while IAU's lower 0.25% fee appeals to long-term holders and smaller investors. Over the past decade, IAU slightly outperformed GLD due to lower costs, making it better for most buy-and-hold investors.

Investors should choose based on trading needs and account size, with IAU generally the best choice for long-term holding.
