Gold prices have risen sharply this year amid a broad rally in the commodities market. But the metal has come under pressure after earlier this month rising to $1,557.40 an ounce, its highest level ever in non-inflation adjusted terms.

Gold recycler makes a mint


The SPDR Gold Trust is one of the most widely held gold-backed exchange traded funds. Soros's position in December was worth $655 million, when the fund owned 4.7 million shares of the ETF. 


Soros also dumped 5 million shares of iShares Gold Trust (IAU), worth $69 million, as well as shares of gold miners Kinross Gold Corp. (KGC) and Novagold Resources (NG). At the same time, he added to his Barrick Gold (ABX) holdings and bought some shares of Freeport Mcmoran Copper and Gold (FCX, Fortune 500). 


In total, Soros had just under $1 billion in gold ETFs and related stocks at the end of December. After selling off his various holdings, that stake is now a mere $216 million.


The hedge fund manager is best known for his bold bets in the currency market, including a 1992 trade against the British pound that won him an estimated $1 billion.
