Central Fund of Canada is a closed-end fund that holds actual gold and silver bullion. They have existed since the mid-1960's. Not only is this an investment in physical metal, but it is a play on the Canadian dollar. Unlike the other ETFs (GLD for example), CEF does not lease out its bullion, and there is no "paper gold", which can be manipulated downward.
