What is NewGold ETF
NewGold ETF is when gold exchange-traded products are traded in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), closed-end funds (CEFs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that are used to own gold as an investment.
Gold exchange-traded products are traded on the major stock exchanges and also on the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) in Kenya.
The funds pay their annual expenses such as storage, insurance, and management fees to the sponsor by selling a small amount of gold; therefore, the amount of gold in each share will gradually decline over time.
The annual fee charged by State Street Corporation as sponsor of SPDR Gold Shares, the largest gold-backed fund in the world, is 0.40% of the assets in the fund.
In some countries, gold ETFs represent a way to avoid the sales tax or the Value-added tax which would apply to physical gold coins and gold bars.
The history of NewGold ETF started in 2011 when the South African group Absa Capital held talks with Kenya’s capital market regulator and Nairobi’s stock exchange (NSE) about listing a gold-backed exchange traded fund.
The NewGold ETF was originally listed in South Africa where it is the largest ETF and invests directly in gold, with around 52.5 tonnes of gold bullion in assets.
Barclays NewGold ETF is a cross-listing of the $1.4bn NewGold ETF that listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 2004 and is also listed in five other African markets including Kenya.
NewGold ETF’s equity stocks are for sale online on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) under the stock symbol GLD.
NewGold ETF has its headquarters in Nairobi.
NewGold ETF forms part of the Investment Services Industry and the Financials Sector.
