If a commercial (or industry) superfund was to offer physical metals as an asset class, that they stored in their own vaults, would: A) you be interested? B) you be more able to interest others? I'd certainly have preferred not to have to go through the hassle of setting up an SMSF just to be able to hold my super as gold. My wife has no interest in joining me on the SMSF side, but would consider gold if it was offered through her own fund.
Depends on the fees they would charge, buy/sell spreads etc. I reckon holding gold in vaults is going to end up costing more than the 'normal' ~1% fee. Also they would need to have some good investment options/funds to put the non-gold investment into. I am looking at various super options now and it is doing my head in.
