Overview

Why OUNZ

  • Deliverability VanEck Merk Gold ETF holds gold bullion in the form of allocated London Bars. It differentiates itself by providing investors with the option to take physical delivery of gold bullion in exchange for their shares.
  • Convertibility For the purpose of facilitating delivery, Merk has developed a proprietary process for the conversion of London Bars into gold coins and bars in denominations investors may desire.
  • Tax Efficiency Taking delivery of gold is not a taxable event as investors merely take possession of what they already own: the gold.

VanEck Merk® Gold ETF seeks to provide investors with a convenient and cost-efficient way to buy and hold gold through an exchange traded product with the option to take physical delivery of gold.

An investment in the VanEck Merk Gold ETF ("OUNZ," or the “Trust”) is subject to significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. OUNZ is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and therefore is not subject to the same protections as mutual funds or ETFs registered under the 1940 Act.
