Yes, Merrill Lynch (now known simply as Merrill, part of Bank of America) offers several ways to invest in gold. You typically won’t buy physical gold bars or coins directly through them, but you can gain exposure through:
- Gold ETFs (exchange-traded funds that track gold prices)
- Gold mutual funds
- Mining company stocks
- Gold futures or options (through certain accounts)
- Precious metals-focused structured products
Your options depend on your specific account type, whether it’s a self-directed brokerage account or one managed by a Merrill financial advisor. If you want physical gold ownership, you’d generally need a specialized dealer or custodian instead.
For exact product availability and fees, it’s best to check with a Merrill advisor or your account platform directly, since offerings can change.
