Gold Trading

Commodities CFD Product Information

Why Trade Gold & Silver CFDs?

• Leverage: As commodities CFD is a leveraged product traded on margin, customers only pay a fraction of the contract value to gain exposure to the underlying commodity contract.
• Alternative Investment: Commodities’ value is typically not driven by the same factors that affect the prices of other asset classes such as stocks or bonds. Hence, commodities may serve as a good instrument to diversify one’s portfolio.
• No Storage Cost: Commodities CFD is a derivative; therefore customers do not actually own the commodity. Investors can gain exposure to price changes in the underlying commodity and avoid the risks and costs involved in owning physical commodities at the same time.

Gold Miner ETFs:

New to Gold Miners ETFs?

• Gold Miners ETFs are “highly leveraged” financial products due to the underlying nature of the gold mining industry. The high operational and financial fixed cost of the gold miners result in gold miners’ earnings to be highly susceptible to fluctuation in gold prices.
• Gold Miners ETFs’ share prices tend to be more volatile than Physical Gold Backed ETFs because of company-specific factors of the underlying companies. This mean that small changes in gold price can result in much larger differences in their net income and valuation multiples.
• Gold Miners ETFs can be potential tactical instrument for investors to take advantage of rising gold price and for traders to profit from excess return relative to gold price.

Unit Trust Commodities Product Information

Gold Miner Unit Trusts

New to Gold Miner Unit Trust?

• Gold Miner Unit Trusts generally invest in companies whose predominant economic activity is gold-mining.
• In Unit Trust investments, fund managers adopt active management and actively pick the companies to outperform fund’s benchmark over time. Active management provides fund manager the flexibility to hold cash in a down market, and buy low during periods of heighted market volatility. Thus, fund manager plays a pivotal role in the fund performance.
• Gold Miner Unit Trusts offer various currency share classes that are different than their base currency. SGD hedged share class will help investors reduce the impact of SGD currency movement against other currencies that may have on an investor’s returns. In an unhedged SGD share class, investor will be exposed to FX gains or losses.
• When gold prices fluctuate, gold mining companies may move faster in the same direction than anticipated by investors as there is a high positive correlation between them. Therefore, the investment returns for gold mining companies tend to more volatile.
