I'm wondering if GLD is fully backed by gold. I want to know if investing in GLD means I'm actually investing in gold, or if it's just some kind of gold-related financial product that might not be fully backed by physical gold.

    The fund, GLD, operates with gold and/or cash as its sole assets.

    Despite this, shareholders are not entitled to receive physical gold.

    Their shares represent an investment in the fund, not direct ownership of gold.

    Owning shares in GLD does not grant investors ownership of actual physical gold.
