VanEck Merk Gold Trust ETF (OUNZ) to track Solactive Gold Spot Index
May 15, 2023--Solactive is pleased to announce the launch of the Solactive Gold Spot Index (ticker: SOLAGOLD) in collaboration with Merk Investments. The index will serve as the reference price for the VanEck Merk Gold Trust ETF (ticker: OUNZ), which tracks the gold spot price, by holding physical gold.
Amidst today's volatile and highly correlated bond and equity markets, commodities as an asset class provide investors with a much needed portfolio diversification option. Due to a global regime characterized by rising interest rates and inflation, demand for products using gold as the underlying has increased across markets all over the world. Historically, gold prices have been uncorrelated to the stock market, and have typically risen during some of the worst market crashes, giving gold the 'reputation' of a safe-haven investment in the eyes of many investors.

Investors dump mutual funds for equities as well as ETFs
May 14, 2023--Study on discretionary US investing shows trend towards individual stocks in portfolios

The biggest gain was felt in direct equity holdings, which rose from 19 per cent of the average portfolio in 2018 to 33 per cent in 2022. ETFs enjoyed a smaller gain, moving from 24 per cent to 27 per cent.
