Paulson Offsets Gold Bullion ETF Sale with Gold Swaps

“Hedge fund manager and gold bull John Paulson made headlines this week after regulatory filings revealed he cut his stake in the largest bullion-backed ETF by more than half in the second quarter. However, Paulson offset much of the sale by buying gold swaps in the over-the-counter market, the Financial Times reports, sourcing a person familiar with the matter. ‘Paulson & Co.’s decision to shift a chunk of its gold holdings out of the ETF and into the OTC market reflects the relative costs of the two,’ the FT reports. GLD charges an expense ratio of 0.40%.”
