What are some of the best gold ETFs and ETCs?

Wisdom Tree Physical Gold is a physically backed gold ETC that comes in two flavours. LSE:PHGP is denominated in sterling and is backed by physical allocated gold held by HSBC Bank. It has an ongoing charge of 0.39%. LSE:PHAU is essentially the same fund denominated in US dollars and carries the same ongoing charge of 0.39%. 

If you’d rather have your gold stored in Switzerland, the WisdomTree Physical Swiss Gold ETC (LSE: SGBS) stores its gold in secure vaults in Zurich on behalf of JPMorgan Chase Bank. The ongoing charge is 0.15%.

The iShares Physical Gold ETC (LSE: SGLN) invests in physical gold kept by JPMorgan Chase Bank in London. The ongoing charge is 0.12%

A more recent fund is HANetf Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold (LSE: RMAP) which holds allocated gold held by the Royal Mint in Wales. 

The fund aims to hold gold sourced on a “best endeavour” basis that ensures the metal does not come from conflict zones. Investors can redeem their gold in the form of bars or bullion coins. The ongoing charge is 0.22%.

All of the above funds can be held in an Isa and a Sipp.

  t’s one of the oldest pearls of wisdom on Wall Street, and for good reason. You see, often the sectors that have been bloodied the most one year are the ones that come back the strongest the next year. So, with this bloody notion in mind, I present to you the   Communication Services Select Sector SPDR (NYSEARCA: XLC) .   XLC tracks a market-cap-weighted index of US telecommunication and media & entertainment components of the S&P 500 index.

ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF (HACK)

ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF   ( HACK ) The   ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF   ( HACK )   has slumped 28.27% from Jan. 2022 to the present, though it has shown some signs of life over the past two months. After hitting a new low for 2022 on Oct. 13, HACK bounced 14% (which outpaced NASDAQ’s 9% bounce in that same time). It hit resistance at about $47.50 on Dec. 1 but seems to have found some support around $42.60. This chart, like many stocks as of late, doesn’t look so hot. But check out HACK’s past three years… That tells a somewhat different story. You can see where cybersecurity stocks were headed before inflation, bond yields, and interest rates dragged on the market this year. But the underlying trend hasn’t changed. The odds that cyber threats will decrease in the coming years are, to quote Muhammed Ali, “Slim, and none. And Slim just left town.” HACK and cybersecurity stocks are likely to return to previous highs and then some.

Hypatia Women CEO ETF WCEO ETF

Hypatia Women CEO ETF WCEO ETF A new Exchange Traded Fund is taking the next step with gender diversity investing. The   Hypatia Women CEO ETF (WCEO)   is the first ETF to focus strictly on women-run companies. The only two requirements for a company be owned in WCEO are that it has a market cap of at least $500 million and a woman runs the company, either from the CEO or Chairperson position. WCEO will have at least 80% of its assets in US companies that female Chief Executive Officers lead. Furthermore, the fund may invest up to 20% of holdings in US companies with an Executive Chairperson or a Chairperson who is female. WCEO is a one-of-a-kind ETF, but it does have some competition if an investor is looking for a woman-focused ETF. This is a good alternative investment due to the fact that women running businesses are not aggressive, do not make short-term actions and are better at ESG decisions. I feel WCEO is a good buy because, over the last few years, we have continued to get mo
