About NewGold ETF
The Absa NewGold ETF is an exchange traded fund issued by NewGold Issuer (RF) Ltd of South Africa and backed by physical gold bullion held in a vault. Each unit represents about one hundredth of an ounce of gold, so its NSE price tracks the shilling value of the international gold price. First listed on the JSE in 2004, it was cross-listed on the NSE on 27 March 2017 as the exchange's first ETF.
