GLTR tracks the combined price performance of four precious metals held in set proportions (0.03 oz gold, 1.1 oz silver, 0.004 oz platinum, 0.006 oz palladium per unit). As a passive ETF with a low 0.60% expense ratio, it appeals to investors seeking commodity diversification and inflation hedging without the complexity of direct metal ownership.
