The most popular gold product in Europe is the Xetra Gold ETC (ISIN DE000A09GB0/WKN A0S9GB). If you buy a gold ETc from Xetra, you have the option of having the gold delivered to your home. However, the pioneer and market leader in gold ETCs is the asset management company ETF-Securities. The gold ETC ETFS Physical Gold (ISIN DE000A0N62G0/WKN A0N62G) is also fully stocked with physical gold, but cannot be delivered. Which gold ETC is best for you depends, among other things, on whether a delivery option for the physical gold is important to you
Incidentally, the main difference between the gold ETCs lies in the costs: for some you do not have to pay any management fees, while others charge an annual fee of between 0.20 and 0.40 percent pa.
