Summary
The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) reported its quarterly results for the period ending June 30, 2022. Total assets increased to $61.6 billion from $55.5 billion in the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in the fair value of its gold holdings. Net assets also saw a rise, reaching $61.3 billion compared to $55.5 billion in the prior year. The Trust experienced a net investment loss of $64.8 million for the quarter, a slight increase from $60.1 million in the same period last year. However, this was offset by a significant net realized and unrealized gain on its gold investments. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Trust reported net income of $1.81 billion, a substantial turnaround from a net loss of $5.08 billion in the corresponding period of 2021. This swing is largely attributable to a significant increase in the net change in unrealized gains on its gold holdings.
