Over $500 million flow into Invesco Physical Gold ETC, as investors seek safety

London, 24 April 2019 Investors in Europe have piled more than US$1.4 billion of net new assets into gold exchange-traded products so far this year, with Invesco Physical Gold ETC seeing the greatest flow with an increase of $524 million of assets1. Investors now hold more than ever before in gold products listed in Europe, roughly double since December 2015, when gold was at its lowest price in almost a decade2.

The firm believes this ‘flight’ to perceived safety is evidence that investors in Europe are positioning their portfolios more defensively amid political and economic uncertainty.
