Except for SPDR all other seems to be GOLD MINING COMPANIES!![ So you'll be investing in GOLD COMPANIES not ACTUAL GOLD]

SPDR GOLD SHARES (GLD) is ETF (i.e Exchange Traded Fund) meaning its PRICE is SAME as its UNDERLYING ASSET ( in our case 1/10 OUNCE of GOLD)!!

So price of GLD share is nothing but a 1/10th Ounce of REAL GOLD!!

-> why so many fees? ( we'll since you'll be buying a REAL GOLD, they charge for STORAGE of the REAL GOLD!! ]
