Sprott Physical Gold Trust Celebrates Impressive Growth Milestone
Sprott Physical Gold Trust Achieves $10 Billion NAV Milestone
TORONTO — Sprott Inc. is thrilled to announce that the Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) has hit a significant milestone with its net asset value reaching US$10 billion. This achievement highlights the increasing confidence investors have in gold as a fundamental asset during uncertain times.
John Ciampaglia, the Chief Executive Officer of Sprott Asset Management, expressed gratitude towards the trust's unitholders, emphasizing, "We would like to thank our unitholders for their trust and support in helping the Sprott Physical Gold Trust reach this significant milestone." Mr. Ciampaglia remarked on the importance of owning physical gold, especially in today’s economic climate where reliability is crucial.
As of mid-March, the Trust holds an impressive 3.4 million ounces of gold, underlining PHYS's dedication to providing a secure and manageable way for investors to gain exposure to precious metals. This robust gold holding allows investors to feel secure knowing their investments are backed by tangible assets.
Gold Price Surge and Its Implications
This impressive milestone has been propelled further by unprecedented increases in gold prices in recent months, largely due to significant purchases by global central banks. Whitney George, Chief Executive Officer at Sprott, noted, "Gold prices have set new records, and we expect this trend to accelerate as more investors participate in this vital asset class." This enthusiasm for gold indicates a growing recognition of its value as a hedge during uncertain economic conditions.
The Sprott Physical Gold Trust was established with the express purpose of investing in and holding predominantly physical gold bullion. This enables investors to obtain the benefits of gold ownership without the typical inconveniences tied to directly managing physical assets. All of the gold held by PHYS is fully allocated and redeemable, offering confidence to investors who prioritize liquidity and security.
