Product Overview
The Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold ETC (RMAU) tracks the spot price of physical gold and is designed to offer investors an effective way to access the gold market, whilst also being shariah compliant.
It is the first financial product to be sponsored by The Royal Mint and the first gold ETC to be launched in partnership with a European Sovereign Mint.
It is custodied at the Mint rather than a bank’s vault. Uniquely retail investors can redeem for physical bars and coins.
Part of the gold custodied by the ETC will be 100% recycled gold bars. Recycled gold is less carbon intensive than mined gold.
The Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold ETC is backed by London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Good Delivery bars held on a segregated basis. The gold is stored and guarded in The Royal Mint's highly secure vault in Llantrisant, Cardiff.
The bars held are 100% in compliance with the LBMA’s 2019 Responsible Sourcing guidelines. The highest responsible sourcing standard available.
The Royal Mint won Best Physical Gold ETP Issuer (USD 100m+) at the ETF Express European Awards 2021 following its launch in February 2020
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, all gold bars of Russian origin were removed from the ETC.

Recycled Gold:
Part of the gold custodied by the ETC will be 100% recycled gold bars. Recycled gold is less carbon intensive than mined gold.
Physical gold redemption:
Investors in RMAU are able to redeem the RMAU gold ETC for physical gold bars or bullion coins – a feature unique to RMAU. Storage and delivery of the physical gold is provided by The Royal Mint.
Shariah Compliant:
