Xetra-Gold: "Assets to rise significantly by 2025”

In view of record gold prices, assets under management are also at an all-time high. Young investors are the main drivers of this trend.  

January 5, 2025. FRANKFURT (Xetra-Gold). The gold reserves of the exchange-traded bearer bond Xetra-Gold (DE000A0S9GB0) stood at 172.8 tons at the end of 2025 (previous year: 166.5 tons). The price of gold rose significantly over the course of the year, but inflows were less dynamic during this period. The price of one gram of gold rose to over €122 during the year and stood at €120.30 at the end of the year. Xetra-Gold's assets under management rose to €20.8 billion, representing a significant increase over the previous year.

"The price of gold reached new highs in 2025, driven by geopolitical uncertainties and remarkable demand from central banks seeking to hedge their positions and become less dependent on the US dollar. Gold also remains an indispensable component of long-term asset protection for many investors; gold has become a top asset class, especially among young people, as our current investment barometer shows," said Dr. Michael König, Managing Director, Deutsche Börse Commodities GmbH.

Xetra Gold is the fifth-largest gold ETC in the world and Europe's largest gold security with physical backing. Each share certificate corresponds to exactly one gram of gold. Investors can also have the gold delivered to them. Since the introduction of Xetra-Gold in 2007, 2,035 deliveries have been made, totaling around 8.3 tons.

Profits from the sale of Xetra-Gold are not subject to withholding tax after a minimum holding period of one year.
