What are the fees charged?
  • Minting / Redemption Fee

A fee of 0.25% will be charged for each mint or redemption order. If a user wants to mint or redeem an exact amount of XAUm that corresponds to a particular physical LBMA gold bar, additional XAUm tokens will be required in excess of the fine weight to cover for the mint or redemption fees.

  • No Management Fee

Currently, there are no management fees for XAUm tokens.

However, as there are costs associated with holding and vaulting, the management fee rate may be subject to change based on market conditions, and any changes will be communicated to token holders through official channels with at least 30 days notice.

  • No Transfer Fees

There are no additional fees charged by Matrixdock when XAUm tokens are transferred between wallets or traded on exchanges. Network gas fees would be applicable to the initiator of the transfer transaction.
