About PHYS
Sprott Physical Gold Trust is a closed-end trust that provides direct exposure to physical gold bullion through professionally managed, allocated holdings. The trust’s mandate is to hold substantially all of its assets in unencumbered London Good Delivery gold bars, making it a straightforward vehicle for investors seeking exchange-traded access to physical gold without handling or storing bullion themselves. Sprott Physical Gold Trust is designed to reflect the value of gold holdings rather than to actively trade or speculate on short-term price movements. Its structure and bullion-backed focus make it a widely used instrument in the precious metals market, particularly for portfolios and institutions that want a convenient way to access gold as a core commodity exposure. The trust is managed by Sprott Asset Management and is part of Sprott’s physical bullion platform.
