Description and fund objective

iShares Physical Gold EUR Hedged ETC tracks the issuer-declared underlying: ICE LBMA Gold EUR Hedged Index (EUR). Mind the share class: this is the version hedged to EUR — returns reflect the index plus the effect (and cost) of hedging into that currency. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.25%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Income is distributed to investors. The fund has assets of about 644 million euro, was launched on 5 July 2022 and is domiciled in Ireland.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

The ETC securities aim to provide investment exposure to physical gold and are valued based on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) gold price. The Company holds physical gold. Each ETC security has a metal entitlement (“Metal Entitlement”, which is the amount of physical gold backing the ETC security) and its daily value is calculated based on its daily Metal Entitlement.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

The daily Metal Entitlement can be found on www.ishares.com. The Series also aims to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations between the Series currency (EUR) and the currency in which the underlying metal of gold is typically quoted (USD) using a currency hedging overlay. The ETC securities are listed and traded on the London Stock Exchange. In normal circumstances, only authorised participants may buy and sell the ETC securities directly with the Company. Investors who are not authorised participants (e.g. select financial institutions) can generally only buy or sell the ETC securities on the secondary market (e.g. via a broker on the London Stock Exchange) at the then prevailing market price. The prevailing market price at which the ETC securities trade on the secondary market may deviate from the daily value of the ETC securities and may not accurately reflect the price of the precious metal underlying the ETC securities. The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below under “How long should I hold it and can I take money out early?” The gold price fluctuates daily and the value of gold is driven by various factors including its rarity, use in industrial processes and its use as an investment commodity. Pricing of precious metals can be impacted by fundamental issues of supply and demand, political and economic situations (especially in precious metal producing countries) and natural disasters. These factors may all affect the value of your investment. Your ETC securities are denominated in Euro, the ETC’s base currency (the “ETC Currency”).

Intended retail investor:The ETC is intended for retail investors with the ability to bear losses up to the amount invested in the ETC. The ETC securities are appropriate for medium to long term investment, though the ETC securities may also be suitable for shorter term exposure (see further below “How long should I hold it and can I take money out early?”).

Insurance benefits:The ETC does not offer any insurance benefits.

Accumulating class: income is reinvested inside the fund and already reflected in the NAV; no distribution is left out of the chart.
Calculations on the NAV: total-return series currency not qualified.
Currency-hedged share class: our figures are computed on the issuer’s NAV, where the hedge is applied at the daily fixing. NAV and exchange prices can differ, so comparison sites using the price may show different returns and volatility: any specific gap can only be judged by comparing the series, dates and method used. Details in the methodology.
Tip: drag across the chart to zoom into a period.

Drawdown — distance from previous peak

This isn’t the return: it shows how far the fund is below its previous peak. 0% = you’re at the peak; below zero = how much you’re down and haven’t recovered yet.

Method and sources

Source: iShares. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available August 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs underlying

How much the product returned above (+) or below (−) the price of its underlying, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 2 of the last 3 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.

Windows longer than the available price history cannot be computed and are not shown: they will appear on their own as time passes. The max drawdown is identical across windows because the deepest fall is recent (peak 29 Jan 2026 → trough 16 Jul 2026): one episode dominates every look-back period. Computed from the daily NAV series, always in nominal terms. Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.25%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate. Same formulas as our public methodology: sample standard deviation annualised over 252 days; Sortino with downside deviation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Each row is one exchange: the operator with all its markets and segments (regulated market and Freiverkehr included). “Registered since”: admission date in the ESMA register (FIRDS), not necessarily the first trading day; a dash = date not recorded in the sources.
+ 4 other trading platforms (platforms for professional participants and segments without admission to listing, such as an exchange operator’s dark books or auctions): they are not exchanges and are not listed.
Exchanges are taken from the official ESMA register (FIRDS) and, where FIRDS does not cover the exchange (London, Zurich) or does not record the current listing, from the issuers’ product lists and documents: the “Exchange source” column says so row by row. Each exchange is a single row, with all its markets and segments. Tickers come from the issuers’ product lists and tax documents or, where indicated, from ISIN→exchange mapping under the open FIGI standard (OpenFIGI). Activity on a dark book, an auction or an ancillary platform does not prove a listing on the exchange that operates it. Rebalix mainly covers venues in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom: when the issuer declares current listings in other jurisdictions too, they appear with their source, outside the ESMA register perimeter. Terminated or cancelled listings are not shown. The same fund may trade in different currencies depending on the exchange: check the trading currency with your broker.
