Gold fund

Gold’s multi-decade bull run is (in my opinion) showing room for further significant upside. A multitude of risks facing the US and the dollar — combined with broader factors like rising inflation and geopolitical stress — mean fresh records far above current levels now look highly likely.

Goldman Sachs thinks prices could reach $5,000 per ounce by the end of next year.

In this climate, buying the iShares Physical Gold (LSE:SGLN) demands serious consideration in my book. Backed by physical gold, this fund is the UK’s most liquid bullion ETF, meaning investors can buy in and sell up extremely easy and with low spreads.

It also has a rock-bottom total expense ratio of 0.12%, one of the lowest on the market.

Remember there’s no guarantee that gold prices will continue rising, however. A downturn would naturally have bad consequences for the fund.

Copper exposure

Copper is another popular commodity that’s worth looking at this October. Red metal futures have rocketed in recent weeks, after weather-related disruptions caused the closure of Grasberg, the world’s second-largest mine.

It’s the latest in a string of production-related hiccups from major producers. With supply problems growing and demand enjoying structural drivers like the growing green and digital economies, now could be the time to consider a copper-based ETF.

The Global X Copper Miners ETF (LSE:COPX) is one I like the look of.

There’s a big difference between investing in a metal producer fund like this versus a copper price tracker. With these, investors leave themselves exposed to potential production issues that can dampen performance.

Still, with holdings in 39 different copper miners (including heavyweights like Glencore and Antofagasta), this ETF spreads the risk quite effectively.

When copper prices rise, producer ETFs like this can outperform as their profits can rise more dramatically. Be mindful, though, that this leverage effect can act in reverse when red metal values drop.

Defence star

My final fund selection here is the HANetf Future of Defence (LSE:NATP) product. This is an ETF I hold in my own portfolio to capitalise on booming defence spending among NATO nations (and partner countries).

I plumped for this one because it gives me defence exposure but ‘with a twist.’ It holds shares in some of the world’s largest weapons builders like Rheinmetall, BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman. In total, its basket contains 60 different businesses.

However, it also has a high weighting of cybersecurity stocks like Palo Alto and CrowdStrike. This provides it with added long-term growth potential, in my view. As HANetf itself comments: “NATO’s inclusion of cyber and network security in new spending targets reflects the growing threat of geopolitically motivated attacks on critical infrastructure.“

Supply chain issues remain a problem across the defence industry. If this persists, it’s possible this fund could underperform expectations. But in the evolving geopolitical climate I’m optimistic it can deliver stunning returns.

The post 3 top ETFs to consider in October! appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

The yellow metal’s latest upswing is being driven by speculation over Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and the future independence of the US central bank. Further gains are widely expected — JPMorgan has tipped gold prices to average $3,675 by the fourth quarter, and $4,000 by the middle of 2026.

The omens look good for gold stocks and funds, although of course, further price rises cannot be guaranteed. Here are three to consider in the current market.

The easy route

The simplest way is to purchase an ETF that owns physical gold (in this case, bars that are locked up in vaults). This saves investors the trouble of having to store and sell the metal themselves. It also removes the need for them to buy gold-producing shares to get exposure to the precious metal.

The iShares Physical Gold (LSE:SGLN) is one I think demands serious attention. It’s the UK’s largest gold fund, with total assets above $18.7bn, and enjoys exceptional liquidity, making it easier for investors to open and close positions.

Furthermore, its total expense ratio is a very attractive 0.12%. Only the Xtrackers Physical Gold fund has a lower cost (0.11%).

But remember that prices may naturally fall if gold reverses course.

A cheap gold stock

As I say, individuals can also capitalise on buoyant gold prices by considering shares in metal producers. Brazilian miner Serabi Gold (LSE:SRB) is one that’s caught my eye.

Holding gold shares is riskier than physical metal or bullion-backed ETFs. They can fall when gold prices fall, and also if operational problems occur. Serabi, for instance, could retrace if its drive to double production over the next few years encounters issues.

However, this strategy can also mean higher returns, as producer profits can rise far more sharply than the gold price during bull markets. What’s more, holding gold shares can also provide an added bonus of dividend income. The dividend yield at Serabi is a solid 3.8%.

Today the shares trade on a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 3.9 times. This cheapness provides substantial scope for further price rises, in my view.

Best of both worlds

There are clearly advantages and disadvantages to buying gold-tracking funds and bullion-producing shares. I think one attractive way to balance the risk and reward of both options is to look for an ETF than holds shares in many different gold companies.

This is a strategy I’ve actually chosen myself by buying the L&G Gold Mining ETF (LSE:AUCP). This fund holds shares in 37 different gold companies, which helps reduce the impact of shocks experienced by individual companies on shareholder returns. But it doesn’t eliminate those risks, of course.

I like this particular fund because of its focus on larger mining companies like Newmont Mining and AngloGold Ashanti. These businesses tend to be much more stable than junior miners, while still providing the possibility of substantial capital gains.

It’s delivered an 80.6% return over the last 12 months. That’s substantially better than the 38.9% increase that gold prices have enjoyed over the period.

The post 3 gold stocks and ETFs to consider as gold prices hit new highs appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

The yellow metal’s surge above $3,500 per ounce four months ago prompted heavy bouts of profit-taking from investors. Gold had appreciated 47% in the 12 months to 22 April on heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns.

But bullion demand has begun creeping higher again in recent weeks. World Gold Council (WGC) data shows inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) “are currently on pace for their second strongest year on record“. Fund holdings are currently at record peaks of $386.4bn.

Central bank gold demand is also steadily rising as they diversify their reserves and prepare for potential shocks.

The WGC thinks investor demand will continue rising “as signs that tariff effects trickle through more meaningfully to growth and/or inflation“. In my opinion, other potential drivers include prolonged US dollar weakness, fears over government debt levels, and concerns about stretched stock market valuations.

A fine fund

So what should individuals consider buying to capitalise on another potential price rise? Price-tracking ETFs like iShares Physical Gold (LSE:SGLN) are lower-risk assets that attract strong interest from investors.

Unlike gold stocks, they’re not vulnerable to operational challenges that could damage returns. Sure, they can still fall when prices of the precious metal drop. A recovering US dollar or improving market confidence are two factors that could pull precious metals lower again.

However, fund holders don’t have to worry about production outages, disappointing drilling results, and other common problems that can hammer miners’ profits.

Investors can enjoy the same benefits by buying physical gold like bars and coins. But these assets are far less liquid, and buyers typically incur costs to store their metal.

Buying and selling a gold-backed ETF is far more straightforward and pretty cost effective, too. The annual management fee on this iShares fund, for instance, is just 0.12%.

Top gold share

That said, the higher risk associated with gold stocks may be acceptable when weighed up against the benefits during bull markets. While a gold producer’s costs stay relatively fixed, any rise in the bullion price can dramatically increase its revenues.

As a consequence, profits can grow much faster than the price of gold itself, and by extension funds that track the yellow metal.

Take Pan African Resources (LSE:PAF) as an example. Its share price has rocketed 122% over the last 12 months. By contrast, the iShares Physical Gold ETF has risen a more modest (if still pretty solid) 33%.

Pan African’s shares have been driven by record first-half production, reflecting project ramp-ups across its South African mine portfolio. Debt reduction and a new share buyback programme have also boosted the gold stock’s price.

Gold stocks offer another significant advantage over price-tracking ETFs and physical metal: the potential for passive income. Pan African is one such dividend-paying stock. And its forward dividend yield is a solid 4.8%.

I think gold’s investment case is compelling in the current landscape. In my view, both ETFs and gold stocks are attractive options for investors considering gaining exposure.

The post Why now could be the time to consider piling into gold stocks and ETFs! appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

With this in mind, here are three such funds that stand out for serious consideration.

Top gold ETF

Demand for gold ETFs like iShares Physical Gold (LSE:SGLN) has exploded in 2025. According to the World Gold Council (WGC), these funds experienced inflows of 397 tonnes over the first half — to put that into context, that was the best semi-annual performance since the depths of the pandemic in 2020.

According to the Council: “fluctuating US trade policy; a weaker US dollar; heightened geopolitical tensions punctuated by regional flare-ups; close attention to the respective paths of inflation and economic growth; and fresh record highs in the gold price” attracted fresh investment inflows.

There’s no guarantee that gold ETFs will keep growing in value. A recovering US dollar alone may put gold prices under strain. But with all these factors still in play, I’m confident of further gains. The iShares Physical Gold product has risen 20.2% since the start of 2025.

New defence fund

Defence stocks are also in high demand as those geopolitical tensions grow. The WisdomTree Europe Defence ETF (LSE:WDEP) has effectively harnessed this trend, rising 21.8% in value since its launch in mid-March.

The fund invests in Europe’s largest defence companies, and includes UK shares BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce from the UK. In total, it holds shares in 24 different contractors, giving it exposure to sub-sectors including aerospace, cyber security, shipbuilding, and munitions.

BAE Systems — currently the ETF’s second-largest holding — underlined the defence sector’s bright outlook this week when it upgraded its own full-year sales and profits forecasts. It now expects revenues to rise 8%-10%, and underlying earnings before interest and tax to rise by 9%-11%.

There’s a risk that supply chain and cost issues may impact the fund’s performance. But on balance, I’m confident it’ll keep rising strongly.

Euro star

Demand for European shares has also detonated this year. Fears over economic and political conditions in the US — and concerns over the valuation of Wall Street equities — has supercharged interest in listed companies closer to home.

It’s a trend I think could continue, making funds like the HSBC EURO STOXX 50 ETF (LSE:H50E) worth a close look. This particular one’s risen 10.2% in the year to date, outperforming trackers that focus on US and global equities.

It comprises 50 of the European Union’s largest stocks, including the likes of SAP, UniCredit, LVMH, and Airbus. As you can see from this list, it offers wide exposure by both country and industry. So investors can effectively spread risk and target a broad range of investment opportunities.

I’m confident in the ETF’s long-term prospects, even amid lingering uncertainty around regional interest rates.

Patience is a virtue

I try to invest some money in the stock market each month based on my personal cash flow for that period. Sometimes, it makes sense for me to invest everything right away. On other occasions, it’s more prudent to hold the fresh money as dry powder and be more selective. Right now, I think it pays to build up my cash allocation for the coming weeks.

This helps to protect my overall portfolio in case the market falls in the short term. The cash element can sit in my savings account. It can generate some positive return instead of being allocated to the stock market, which could fall. This patience helps my portfolio in the long term. After all, I can look to deploy the money in the future if I spot some undervalued options following any potential sell-off.

Looking for safe havens

Another option I’m looking at is increasing my allocation to safe-haven assets, such as gold. I can get exposure to gold in several ways. One is buying the physical metal. I can also decide to buy a mining stock that’s involved with the precious metal, such as Fresnillo.

I’m seriously considering a third option, which is the iShares Physical Gold ETC (LSE:SGLN). Over the past year, it’s up 39%. At its core, the UK-listed exchange-traded commodity gives investors exposure to the price of gold. It’s backed by physical gold bullion. Therefore, it offers me a simple, low-cost way to invest in gold without needing to own or store it myself.

Gold bars are held in London vaults, with each share representing a specific amount of gold. I like using this FTSE-listed option better than mining stocks as it’s a purer way of expressing my view of owning a safe-haven asset. After all, the share price of a mining stock is also impacted by other company-specific factors.

As a risk, gold is priced in US dollar terms, even though the stock is priced in British pounds. Therefore, movements in the currency markets can impact the overall investor return. If the pound strengtens against the dollar, the returns would decrease.

Avoiding active trading

It might sound odd that I can be protecting my portfolio by not actively buying and selling shares in the coming few days. Yet, being overactive can result in large transaction fees, which would eat into my returns. Further, the geopolitical situation can change very fast. Instead of trying to time movements perfectly and risk having large unrealised losses, I think being more selective in purchases is often the better play.

The post 3 ways I’m trying to protect my FTSE stock portfolio from rising geopolitical tensions appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Here are a couple of top funds and trusts I think warrant close attention this month.

BlackRock Smaller Companies Trust

Investors seem to be shifting from US equities into UK shares in growing numbers, prompted by the turbulent political backdrop in Washington and concerns over elevated stock valuations.

But rather than only investing in the FTSE 100 or FTSE 250, one idea could be to grab exposure to British small-cap shares. Analysts at Hargreaves Lansdown note that smaller companies are enjoying “undemanding valuations, [meaning] there’s an opportunity for investors to add excellent long-term growth potential to their portfolios.”

Investing in smaller firms involves greater risk. These businesses don’t enjoy the market-leading positions and strong balance sheets of many larger companies, and they can be especially vulnerable during economic downturns. But the BlackRock Smaller Companies Trust (LSE:BRSC) helps investors to reduce such risks.

This pooled investment vehicle has holdings in 100 companies that span a variety of sectors. Among its largest holdings are infrastructure products manufacturer Hill and Smith, and telecoms services provider Gamma Communications.

Smaller companies can have better long-term growth potential than larger-caps, which can result in supersized performance. Indeed, Hargreaves Lansdown also notes that over the last five years, the FTSE Small Cap ex IT index has delivered a return of 78.33%, ahead of the 72.94% and 41.74% returns delivered by the FTSE 100 index and FTSE 250 ex IT index, respectively.

The excellent value offered by BlackRock Smaller Companies Trust suggests this may be an especially attractive way to consider gaining exposure too. The trust trades at a whopping 12.5% discount to its net asset value (NAV) per share.

iShares Physical Gold

Holding safe-haven gold in a portfolio offers insurance against economic and political shocks. I think now especially could be a good time to consider gaining exposure through an ETF like iShares Physical Gold (LSE:SGLN).

Gold’s hit repeated highs over the last few years, and in 2025 it’s risen around 18% so far. I’m backing it to continue rising as interest rates fall, trade tensions likely persist, the US dollar depreciates and geopolitical instability increases.

I think iShares Physical Gold could be an attractive fund to consider for especially risk-averse SIPP investors. It allows individuals to capitalise on gold price movements without having to buy gold stocks. Therefore, it provides protection from exploration and production problems that can be commonplace in the mining industry.

At the same time, ETFs like this are more convenient than buying and then holding physical gold. Indeed, this particular bullion-backed fund enjoys especially strong liquidity, making it easier and potentially more cost effective to buy and sell.

There’s no guarantee that gold prices will retain their upward momentum. Renewed market confidence could instead prompt a mass selling of the yellow metal as investors seek out riskier assets.

Yet on balance, I still believe gold ETFs like this one are worth serious consideration in the current climate.

iShares Physical Gold ETF — playing gold’s bull run

Gold’ may have lost some of its lustre in recent hours, pulling funds like iShares Physical Gold ETF (LSE:SGLN) lower. Demand for the safe-haven asset has dipped as news of a US-China trade deal’s boosted demand for riskier ones.

There may be further volatility in the days and weeks ahead, and particularly as investors seek to book profits. But I believe bullion’s multi-year bull run is far from over, meaning gold ETFs remain attractive assets in my book.

There’s a blend of factors that suggest gold may hit new records above current peaks around $3,500 an ounce. Mounting geopolitical tensions, and lasting uncertainty over US economic and foreign policy. A raft of further interest rate cuts will also support the inflation-hedging precious metal, along with possible further falls in the US dollar.

Strong central bank buying should also keep fuelling gold’s price boom. Institutions bought 244 tonnes of the metal in quarter one, prompting the World Gold Council (WGC) to predict “another strong year of buying.”

ETFs like this are more convenient ways for retail investors to trade gold than buying physical gold. And this particular iShares one has one of the lowest expense ratios on the market (at 0.12%).

Target Healthcare REIT — a FTSE 250 dividend machine

Real estate investment trust (or REIT) Target Healthcare (LSE:THRL) has risen sharply in recent months, driven by hopes of a sustained fall in interest rates. But to my mind it still looks dirt cheap.

At 99.5p per share, the FTSE 250 business — which operates 94 care homes across the UK — trades a whopping 14% discount to its net asset value (NAV) per share.

It also packs a vast 6% forward dividend yield. This reflects in part REIT rules, which state at least 90% of profits from rental operations must be distributed in the form of dividends.

Target could be one of the most secure passive income stocks to own today, in my opinion. Not only does it operate in a highly defensive sector. With 34 tenants on its books, it has the depth to absorb any individual setbacks that could impact earnings and dividends.

Furthermore, its tenants are sealed into on ultra-long-term contracts, providing excellent long-term profits visibility (the weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) was 26.1 years as of December).

On the downside, new UK immigration policy poses a potential long-term problem to the care homes sector. More specifically, tighter rules could impact inflows of key healthcare workers, potentially pushing up tenants’ costs and reducing occupancy rates.

Yet on balance, I still think the trust’s outlook is extremely bright over the coming decades, underpinned by soaring care home demand as Britain’s elderly population rapidly grows.

The price tracker

Gold prices reached record peaks above $3,500 per ounce on 22 April, but have since retraced to around $3,276.38. Yet gold is still up around 25% this year, and looks (in my view) in good shape to rise again after recent profit taking.

Inflows into gold-backed ETFs like the iShares Physical Gold ETF (LSE:SGLN) have been a key factor behind the bullion’s price jump this year. According to World Gold Council data, global holdings jumped 226 tonnes during the first quarter. This took total ETF holdings to 3,445 tonnes in March — a near-two-year high.

The WGC’s predicted “continued momentum in gold ETF flows” for the rest of 2025 too, “on risks of stagflation and recession, and ongoing geopolitical and trade tension“.

So funds like iShares Physical Gold remain top assets to consider in May. I like this particular fund, the UK’s largest with net assets of £16.9bn, as it also has one of the lowest ongoing expense ratios in the business (at 0.12%).

In the past five years, the fund has delivered an average annual return of 14%. I think this could pick up worries over the economic and political landscape mount, and the US dollar likely weakens still further, making buck-denominated assets more cost effective to buy.

Remember though, that there are no guarantees. For instance, an improvement in investor confidence that spurs rotation into riskier assets (like shares and cryptocurrencies) could weigh on safe-haven gold values.

The gold mining ETF

Investors with a high tolerance for risk may wish to consider a fund that tracks the performance of gold miners instead. This is a route I’ve gone down as I recently added the L&G Gold Mining UCITS ETF (LSE:AUCP) to my Self-Invested Personal Penson (SIPP).

Unlike a basic price-tracking fund, ETFs like these leave holders exposed to the dangers associated with gold mining operations. These include production disruptions, adverse currency fluctuations and political challenges in key mining areas.

Yet while involving greater risk, mining funds can also deliver far better returns, as a small gold price increase can lead to a much greater rise in company profits. Performance is also boosted by miners’ dividends, which are reinvested to achieve further growth.

This particular L&G product has delivered an average annual return of 18.9% during the last five years, beating that iShares gold price tracker described above.

By investing in 34 different miners, the fund reduces the impact of challenges impacting one or two companies on overall returns. It also holds some of the best (in my opinion) bullion producers in the business like Agnico-Eagle, Newmont and AngloGold Ashanti.

The ongoing charge of 0.55% is higher than that of most ETFs that track the gold price. But I believe the potential for more superior returns make this a price worth considering.

The post 2 top gold ETFs to consider in May! appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Any of my £20,000 annual allowance that I don’t use before 5 April is lost, as it can’t be rolled over to the 2025/26 tax year. So it makes sense to at least deposit as much money as I can in my ISA before that date. This is even if I don’t actually buy any shares, trusts, or funds with it.

Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be, neither does it constitute, any form of tax advice. Readers are responsible for carrying out their own due diligence and for obtaining professional advice before making any investment decisions.

I’m not planning to stop building by Stocks and Shares ISA despite current uncertainty. This is because I buy stocks for the long term, and as a consequence volatility like we’re currently seeing doesn’t dampen my investing appetite. In fact, recent market sell-offs leave me with a chance to go hunting for bargains.

Finally, with a broad spectrum of assets to choose from, I can invest in assets that may remain resilient — or perhaps even thrive — if the economic and political landscape worsens.

Here’s one such safe haven on my watchlist today.

Rising in the gloom

Demand for gold-related assets like the iShares Physical Gold ETF (LSE:SGLN) is soaring as financial market tension grows.

According to the World Gold Council (WGC), global bullion-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reported inflows of $9.6bn in February, the strongest level for almost three years. Holdings increased across Europe, Asia, and North America (where inflows were at their greatest since July 2020).

Demand for the yellow metal continues to soar despite its increasing expensiveness. Its latest record high around $2,959 per ounce was printed a fortnight ago. It’s currently up $775 over the last year, and is (in my opinion) set to keep appreciating.

Fears over geopolitical realignment — including the developing landscape around the Ukraine war — look set to continue simmering. The US dollar could also keep tumbling as worries over the impact of President Trump’s policies on the US economy grow.

A weaker dollar makes it more cost effective to buy buck-denominated assets like precious metals. The world’s reserve currency recently dropped to multi-month lows against both sterling and the euro.

A top fund

I’m a fan of ETFs like the iShares one because, unlike buying gold stocks (or a fund of mining shares), ISA investors can gain exposure to gold without the risks associated with digging for precious metals.

The market for gold ETFs can also be more liquid than that for many mining shares, making it easier and more cost effective for investors to buy and sell them.

I like iShares Physical Gold specifically because it’s one of the more popular funds out there, too. And its 0.12% ongoing charge is also one of the lowest in the business.

Of course funds like this aren’t immune to risk. Like gold itself, they are in danger of plummeting if market confidence improves and demand for riskier assets grows.

Yet, on balance, I believe the iShares Physical Gold ETF is worth serious consideration before April’s ISA deadline.

The post A last-minute buy for Stocks & Shares ISA investors to consider! appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Gold — which struck 40 separate record highs last year — is already up 11% in the five-and-a-bit weeks since New Year’s Day. It struck fresh new highs of $2,914 per ounce in recent hours.

I think there could be much further upside for gold prices too. And especially if bullion values move through the technically critical $3,000 marker.

A simple way for investors to capitalise on this scenario would be to buy a gold-tracking ETF. Inflows into European funds like this like this have rocketed of late — according to the World Gold Council, they hit their highest level since March 2022 last month.

I’m considering buying one such find for my own portfolio.

Top tracker

The iShares Physical Gold (LSE:SGLN) fund is one I think is worth a look because of its low charge structure. At 0.12%, its ongoing charge is one of the lowest in the business.

Funds like this allow investors to own gold without the hassle and cost of storage and delivery, nor worries of whether the metal they own is of acceptable quality. iShares says that 100% of the bars it holds meet criteria laid down by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).

This fund has another feature that makes it popular with certain investors. Unlike many ETFs, it tracks the metal price itself instead of a basket of companies with gold-mining operations. Therefore it protects individuals from the hazards attributed to minerals exploration, mine development and metal excavation.

Returns can be lower as a result. But it may be the preferred route to consider for risk-averse investors.

Another precious ETF

My view is that safe-haven demand for gold will continue to climb. There’s no guarantee of this, of course, and improving economic conditions that jolt market confidence could send it sharply lower.

One way investors can ‘hedge their bets’ and mitigate the risks of this scenario is by considering a silver-backed ETF instead. One I feel that’s worth considering today is the WisdomTree Silver (LSE:SLVR) fund.

This financial instrument — which also tracks physical metal prices instead of mining stocks — has leapt in 2025 as worries over the global economy and geopolitical turbulence have grown, supercharging investment demand for silver.

While safe-haven buying could continue, silver prices may conversely rise if the global economy improves and industrial demand for the metal picks up. Sectors like the car industry and electronics segments account for around 55% of silver demand.

Despite its dual role as investment and industrial metal, there are risks to silver prices and by extension related funds. Like gold, values may fall if the US dollar strengthens, making it more expensive to buy the greenback-denominated asset.

On balance though, I think both these ETFs could continue taking off in 2025 and potentially beyond.
