| IT’S A WAKE UP CALL FROM YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY PICK IT UP. TV pundits. Print columnists. Investment blogs. It seems wherever you look these days, gold is in the conversation. The SPDR® Gold Shares ETF? Chances are it has already caught your eye. After all, it’s well known that GLD is a precise way to access the gold market. Historically, gold hasn’t mirrored the market’s behavior. So it’s generally not tied to the ups and downs of Wall Street.* That means it can be used as a strategic building block in investors’ portfolios. This is one opportunity you may not want to leave on the table.
