They say there is an ETF for just about any strategy. Gold investors and other precious metal investors are now getting a new ETF that will trade as a single basket of metals. The ETFS Physical Precious Metal Basket Shares (NYSE: GLTR) is launching today. This is an ETF that is comprised of Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium all under one vehicle. GLTR will effectively act as a mix of ETFS Physical Swiss Gold Shares (NYSE: SGOL), ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (NYSE: PPLT), and ETFS Physical Palladium Shares (NYSE: PALL). The ETF holds actual bullion rather than just acting as an ETF of ETFs.

The ETF will hold physical bullion of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium and that bullion will be held in vaults at custodian JPMorgan Chase Bank. Gold and Silver will be held in London and Platinum and Palladium will be held in London or Zurich. The sponsor’s fee for GLTR will be 0.60%.

Something new… This is the first ETF of its kind that we have seen. Other commodities have been grouped, but this is the first for a basket of precious metals that we have seen. The ticker “GLTR” pretty much says it all… “Glitter.” Cute.

The Average American Is Losing Their Savings Every Day (Sponsor)

If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.

Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.

But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.
