PLTMBGraniteShares Platinum Trust

YSAGCTexas Precious Metals Trust Y'all Street Physical Silver ETF

In short

PLTM Platinum, in a vault, sliced into shares. PLTM holds allocated bullion and charges 0.50% a year, undercutting the older platinum trust on fee, which is most of what separates two funds holding the same metal.

YSAG No data

Stated mandate

PLTM The Trust seeks to reflect the price of platinum, less its expenses, through allocated physical platinum bullion.

YSAG No data

Why people hold it

  • PLTM At 0.50% a year it is the cheaper of the two US physical platinum trusts, and it sits under the median fee for physical commodity funds.
  • Allocated bars, not futures contracts: no roll calendar, no contango math, just platinum held for the trust.graniteshares.com
  • Simple mandate kept tightly since its 2018 launch: the platinum price less expenses, and one of the closer trackers among physical metal funds.

YSAG No data

Worth knowing

  • PLTM One metal, one line of exposure. Platinum moves in its own lane and can swing hard, with nothing else inside the fund to cushion it.
  • No income here. Expenses are met out of the metal, so each share represents a slightly smaller slice of platinum as the years pass.
  • Volume is moderate rather than mega-trust deep, so spreads and limit orders matter more when you trade in size.
