Holdings — single-asset trust (physical gold)
Compiled by Finance Foundation from the fund’s own published holdings disclosures as of Q2 2026 (seed-0.7 · marketcap-1 · 2026-08-30), ranked by the fund’s stated portfolio weight. Only holdings that are themselves covered entities are shown, so this is a subset of the top holdings, not the full portfolio, and no weights or share counts are published. Fund portfolios turn over — check the manager’s own disclosure for a current list. Sources.
