The founder of the first gold-tracking ETF, George Milling-Stanley, remains optimistic about gold's future 20 years after its inception. He cites strong demand for gold from both central banks and individual investors, particularly in emerging markets like India and China. Despite some recent pullbacks in the gold market due to increased risk appetite among investors, Milling-Stanley believes the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) and the gold market overall are beginning to recover. The GLD ETF has grown significantly, demonstrating the rising interest in gold investment over the past two decades.
