Our read on IGLD
BGold that pays you monthly. IGLD holds Treasuries plus options tied to the SPDR Gold Trust, chasing bullion's price moves while selling calls to fund a monthly distribution. Running since 2021.
The fund seeks participation in the price returns of SPDR Gold Trust while providing consistent income. It invests mainly in U.S. Treasury securities and a subsidiary holding exchange-traded options referencing that gold ETF.
Why people hold it
- An early mover in gold options-income. Launched in 2021, it has run its call-selling engine through real gold cycles, not a backtest.ftportfolios.com
- 0.85% a year undercuts the typical fee in the gold options-income crowd.
- Plain plumbing: Treasuries as collateral, a subsidiary holding the gold options, all inside a standard 1940 Act fund. No K-1 partnership paperwork.ftportfolios.com
- Distributions land monthly, and the fund sits among the stronger builds in its peer group for doing what its documents say.
Worth knowing
- No bars in a vault here. Exposure comes from options referencing a gold ETF, and the calls sold to fund income trim how much of a gold rally you keep.ftportfolios.com
- Part of a payout can be return of capital, which is your own money coming back and lowers your cost basis.ftportfolios.com
- Not the cheapest seat in the room: YGLD charges 0.53% for its own gold-plus-income spin.
