About VanEck Merk Gold ETF
Commodity Contracts Brokers & Dealers, SIC 6221
VanEck Merk Gold ETF is an investment trust that holds physical gold bullion. Its primary function is to offer investors an avenue to invest in gold through shares, with an option to take physical delivery of gold bullion bars and coins. The trust issues and redeems share blocks called baskets exclusively through authorized participants, such as registered broker-dealers. Retail and institutional clients acquire shares through brokerage accounts, and shareowners may request delivery of physical metal directly to designated locations.
The trust maintains its principal executive offices in Menlo Park, California, in care of its sponsor, Merk Investments LLC. Administrative duties are handled by a trustee in New York, while underlying physical bullion is safeguarded in London, England, by its custodian. The entity maintains no commercial storefronts or employees, operating across financial channels in the United States and the United Kingdom.
