Our read on PALL

ETF.net Research

In short

CPalladium bars, not palladium futures. Running since 2010, this abrdn trust aims to reflect the price of physical palladium after expenses: one metal, one price, no roll schedule to babysit.

Stated mandate

The Trust's objective is for its Shares to reflect the price performance of physical palladium, after deducting Trust expenses.

Why people hold it

  • One job, stated plainly: shares reflect the price of physical palladium after trust expenses. No futures ladder, no index committee, no tracking basket to decode.
  • Trading since 2010 and an actively traded name in its physical-commodity group, so getting a position on or off is usually straightforward.
  • Part of abrdn's physical metals shelf alongside silver (SIVR), platinum (PPLT) and the GLTR precious-metals basket, so shifting metals keeps you in one familiar structure.

Worth knowing

  • The 0.60% expense ratio is the median for physically backed metal trusts, not a bargain. SIVR charges 0.30%, SLV and PLTM 0.50%, though those hold different metals.
  • Nothing gets paid out. The whole result is the metal's price minus the trust's expenses, so there's no income to soften a flat stretch.
  • One metal, one mood. This sits among the more volatile members of its physical-metals group, with no basket alongside it to smooth a rough palladium run.
