GLD tracks gold bullion prices directly, while GDX holds shares of gold mining companies and introduces equity risk. GDX carries a slightly higher expense ratio and is much smaller in assets under management than GLD. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEMKT:GLD) and VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSEMKT:GDX) both offer exposure to gold, but GLD tracks physical bullion prices while GDX invests in gold mining stocks, resulting in different risk profiles, returns, and cost structures. Both GLD and GDX may appeal to investors seeking gold exposure, yet their approaches differ significantly: GLD reflects the price of gold itself, while GDX tracks an index of global gold mining companies. This comparison highlights the trade-offs between direct commodity exposure and equity-linked gold strategies.
