PMGOLD questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Perth Mint Gold?
Perth Mint Gold holds 1 securities.
Which ETFs does PMGOLD double up with most?
No other ASX fund shares more than 10% of its holdings with PMGOLD, but its returns move most closely with iShares Physical Gold ETF (GLDN) (correlation 0.98), Global X Physical Gold (GOLD) (correlation 0.97) and Global X Gold Bullion ETF (GXLD) (correlation 0.94). A correlation near 1 means the two funds tend to rise and fall together, so holding both adds little diversification.
How is Perth Mint Gold managed – active or passive?
Perth Mint Gold is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
What will I pay in fees for PMGOLD?
PMGOLD charges a management fee of 0.15% a year, about $15 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 90% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among commodity funds, the median is 0.46%.
It is the cheapest of the 9 gold funds we track.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.06% for PMGOLD.
Does Perth Mint Gold follow a theme?
Yes. Perth Mint Gold focuses on gold. Thematic funds are narrower than the broad market, so they can rise or fall much more than it does.
Other ASX funds with a gold focus include Global X Physical Gold (GOLD), VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), Betashares Gold Bullion ETF (Currency Hedged) (QAU) and Global X Gold Bullion ETF (GXLD).
What is under the hood of PMGOLD?
PMGOLD's largest holding is Physical Gold (Perth Mint) (100.0%).
It follows an index; the issuer's PDS sets out how that index chooses and weights its holdings.
How well has Perth Mint Gold performed?
Based on its category, Perth Mint Gold aims to give exposure to commodity prices.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned −9.2% over 1 year (median −4.0%; ranked 6 of 10), 22.2% a year over 3 years (median 22.8% a year; ranked 4 of 7) and 18.9% a year over 5 years. The medians and rankings compare it with commodity funds. Since listing in 2013 it has returned 8.6% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for PMGOLD; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.15% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
