The Wealth Company Gold ETF

The Wealth Company Gold ETF holds up reasonably well within the Gold ETF category. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 68/100.

Cost: At 0.23%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 12% below the Gold ETF category average of 0.26% (based on 19 comparable funds). Lower costs compound in your favour over long holding periods.

Risk-adjusted performance: Over the trailing 1-year period, the fund shows a modest Sharpe ratio of 0.28 — returns have only marginally compensated for the risk taken. Separately, with 32.83% annualised volatility, this is among the more turbulent funds in its space — expect sharp swings in both directions.

Who should invest: This fund is best suited to investors whose goals and risk appetite align with a Other fund. The High risk rating means near-term volatility should be expected — this isn't a fund to check daily.
