FT Vest Gold Strategy Target Income ETF aims to generate income that exceeds yields on short-term US Treasury securities while providing exposure to gold returns. The ETF invests in a basket of short-term US Treasury securities and cash equivalents, as well as a subsidiary that holds options referencing the performance of SPDR Gold Trust.
