QAU is one way to own gold on the ASX, you're buying actual physical gold bars held in a vault. Unlike MNRS (which owns gold mining company shares), QAU tracks the gold price directly with no mining company operational risk. Gold has been in a sustained multi-year rally, with the gold price reaching nearly $5,000/oz USD in early 2026. QAU is currency-hedged, so your returns reflect purely the gold price without AUD/USD noise. Gold is commonly discussed as a portfolio diversifier and inflation hedge, whether any gold allocation suits your circumstances is a decision that depends on your individual financial situation, consult a licensed financial adviser.
