About PHPM
WisdomTree Physical Precious Metals is an exchange-traded commodity (ETC) that provides investors with direct exposure to a diversified basket of physical precious metals. Launched on April 24, 2007, and domiciled in Jersey, it physically holds allocated bullion conforming to LBMA and LPPM Good Delivery standards, stored securely in London vaults inspected twice annually by Inspectorate International. The basket typically comprises approximately 49-62% gold, 18-22% silver, 11-26% palladium, and 6-7% platinum, with daily published metal entitlements adjusted for the 0.44% management expense ratio. Structured as a debt security issued by WisdomTree Metal Securities Limited, with HSBC Bank plc as custodian, it offers UCITS eligibility, Sharia compliance, and ISA eligibility in the UK. This ETC enables simple, liquid access to spot precious metal prices without the need for investors to manage storage, insurance, or delivery, trading on exchanges like London in USD. Its role in financial markets supports portfolio diversification into commodities, reflecting supply-demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and currency fluctuations in USD-denominated assets.
