Singapore, 4 Sep 2025 – UOB Asset Management Ltd (UOBAM) launches its latest managed portfolio solution, the UOBAM Gold+, which blends 49% SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust ETF (GLDM), 49% United Gold & General Fund (UGGF) and a 2% cash buffer. The equal-weight structure offers investors balanced, cost-efficient exposure to the global gold market by pairing physically backed gold bullion with predominantly gold-focused but diversified mining equities.
The UOBAM Gold+ is designed with equal allocations and quarterly rebalancing, enabling investors to benefit from the stability of physical gold during periods of market volatility while capturing the growth potential offered by top-tier mining companies. Additionally, the cash sleeve ensures daily liquidity for enhanced flexibility.
Rachel Ong, Chief Marketing Officer of UOBAM, said “In today’s uncertain market, investors are actively seeking smarter ways to protect and grow their wealth. The UOBAM Gold+ is designed to offer the best of both worlds for investors who are looking for portfolio diversification – combining the stability of physical gold and the growth potential of gold-related equities in a balanced and resilient strategy. With gold reaching successive all-time highs this year and central banks continuing to add bullion to their reserves, this portfolio provides a timely and accessible gateway to tap into the momentum while supporting portfolio hedging and tactical positioning in a dynamic investment landscape.”
The launch of UOBAM Gold+ comes amid renewed and increasing demand for the metal, fuelled by persistent inflation risk, shifting interest-rate expectations and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. In this environment, gold has reaffirmed its role as both a liquid safe-haven asset and a proven strategic diversifier for long-term portfolios. The SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust ETF (GLDM) offers one of the most competitive expense ratios in the market, serving as a cost-efficient defensive sleeve. Complementing this, the United Gold & General Fund (UGGF) is an actively managed strategy with more than 30 years of proven performance, investing in established, cash-generative global mining companies with a strong focus on gold. Together, these two funds provide a dynamic blend, balancing gold’s price movements with diversified exposure across physical gold and global-mining stocks.
Exclusively available on the UOBAM Invest app, the portfolio offers convenience and accessibility with a low minimum investment amount starting from S$1. Currently, investors can also benefit from no advisory and platform charges, enabling them to make the most of their investments.
