Invesco Physical Gold EUR Hedged ETC tracks the issuer-declared underlying: LBMA Gold Price (PM). In plain words: it tracks the market price of gold (the London fixing is the reference), backed by physical metal held in custody. 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 0.12%, plus 0.15% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is physical replication (it buys the index constituents). The fund has assets of about 1.2 billion euro, was launched on 9 July 2020 and is domiciled in Ireland.

We do not publish a tracking difference for this share class — and it is not an oversight.
SGLE is hedged to EUR; the index the issuer places next to it in its documents is the unhedged, foreign-currency version. Subtracting one from the other does not measure replication quality: it measures the exchange rate. In a year when the currency moves 5%, “the TD” would come out near 5 points — a plausible-looking number, with decimals, and wrong.
Other sites publish that number. We would rather show one figure less than one figure wrong: the TD will return here the day we have the EUR-hedged index series, which the issuer does not publish today.
