One report pointed out the issue of the management fee for SPDR Gold Trust (ticker GLD). GLD's management fee is 0.40%, and the article reported that GLD underperformed physical gold by 66 percentage points. It stated that this created a difference in long-term returns.
The report recommends physical gold holdings or gold ETFs with low management fees as alternatives. Physical gold requires storage and insurance costs. ETFs offer the advantage of ease of trading.
Differences in management fees affect long-term cumulative returns. In particular, when costs accumulate, the final rate of return changes. Investors should check the total cost structure.
