Gold Fund Investors Beat Apple Returns Over Last Six Months: GoldETFs.biz

(October 10, 2012)

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) October 10, 2012

Gold fund investors have seen significant outperformance over Apple stock investors over the last six month according to a new article by GoldETFs.biz. The largest gold fund in the world has gained over 8% over the last six months reports GoldETFs.biz. This compares to Apple's gain of .8% or about one tenth of the return of gold fund shares.

The latest article on GoldETFs.biz highlights a performance chart from Google Finance comparing the two investments. Both have experienced major catalysts that have driven performance during this last six months. The SPDR Gold Trust benefited from the anticipation and realization of QE3. Meanwhile Apple has benefited from the anticipation and launch of the iPhone 5. Despite these meaningful catalysts however, gold funds have decisively come out ahead.

"Gold fund investors have seen material outperformance over stock market darling Apple over the last six months," said Christian Magoon Publisher of GoldETFs.biz. "It appears the only thing more powerful than the new iPhone is QE3. Is this outperformance a new bullish trend for hard assets like gold or just a six month performance blip? We shall see."

Currently there are over 20 gold fund and ETN products listed in the United States. These products contain over $100 billion of investor assets. The SPDR Gold Trust contains the bulk of these assets with over $76 billion under management.
