Aberdeen Standard Precious Metals Basket ETF Trust is an investment trust. The Trust holds gold, silver, platinum and palladium in set ratios (together, Bullion) and issues Aberdeen Standard Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares ETF in minimum blocks of 50,000 Shares (also referred to as Baskets) in exchange for deposits of Bullion and distributes Bullion in connection with the redemption of Baskets. The investment objective of the Trust is for the shares to reflect the performance of the price of physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium in the proportions held by the Trust, less the expenses of the Trust's operations. The GLTR stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the GLTR stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2018 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the GLTR annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
