BMO ETF
A physical gold fund, hedged to Canadian dollars, for 0.2% a year.
Funds of this type differ on a small set of facts. Where this fund sits on each:
Spot commodity exposure. Returns are tied mainly to the underlying commodity rather than to a diversified set of operating companies.
Source: fund provider disclosure.
The management fee was 0.2% a year, or about $20 for every $10,000 held. Storage and custody costs for holding the physical commodity are reflected in this fee. Trading spreads are separate from this fee. This is the management fee as published by the provider; the total expense ratio can be slightly higher once fund operating costs are added.
Pays little or no distribution; the main tax event is the capital gain when you sell.
The full distribution tax character, plus what you keep after tax in a TFSA, RRSP, or non-registered account, is on the Real Yield report card.
