Synthetic gold created, physical, gold, holding

pawn

Can't find it again in the book => how is a synthetic gold exposure created, and why is it better than holding physical?

Risk Free Bond + Golf Futures.

Gold must be lent if holding physical to collect the lease rate.

Colum

go long gold futures and risk free asset, the benefit is you don't need to store it. if you are not a business that needs to use gold then there is no convenience to you in holding it.
