i used to invest in public bank gold a/c. When they first started, they allowed request for physical withdrwals.
Then 6 months along, they stopped the practice. i wonder why?

Why you confused between investment in Gold Stock Market Vs Physical Gold. Bank Gold A/c was investment in Gold Stock Market where invest by their Treasury Division. We are talking physical gold trade either in coin, pallet or etc here. Actually bank stock was in BAR, not even process to coin/pallet shapes yet. When got buyer than they process it, normally in limited edition. If I remember correctly last time got a few bank do sale it like UOB, KFH & BNM.. If bank sale Kijang Coin that one BNM product..

i have invested in , GLD, coins, bars, numis, ...but i have yet to hear to Gold Stock Market!
But i am sure they wpuld have denominations of 1g,5g,10g, 100g and 1kg bars....is they wanted to.
BUT i doubt they keep any phsyical.
i think you are refering to GLD as in the SPDR Gold Shares ?
If that be the case, why bother to pay the bank a premium of 4 to5% spread while you can invest directly
into the stock?

i am doing that presently..cost me few ringgit to trade
