Physically backed ETC, collateralised debt security

Figures are indicative and checked periodically. Always verify the ISIN, ongoing charges and index in the issuer's latest KID and factsheet before you invest.

ETC, not ETF

A single-commodity product cannot be a UCITS fund, so it is legally an exchange traded commodity: a debt security backed by metal in a vault.

Supply concentration

South Africa supplies most mined output, followed by Russia and Zimbabwe, which makes supply vulnerable to power cuts and strikes.

Frequently asked questions

Is platinum pricier than gold?
