About this episode

The episode discusses the advantages of investing in gold ETFs compared to traditional gold assets.

Gold isn’t just jewellery or coins – ETFs can give you exposure to real bullion without the hassle of storage, long queues or steep bid-ask spreads. Lion Global Investors’ Ong Xun Xiang sits with Andrea Heng to explain the difference between synthetic and physically backed gold ETFs, vaulting jurisdictions and insurance that protect your holdings.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
