(Corrects table to reflect ZKB revising their latest physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium ETF holdings, and total holdings)
Feb 28 (Reuters) - Holdings of the largest gold-backed exchange-traded-fund $(ETF.AU)$, New York's SPDR Gold Trust , were little changed on Monday, compared with Friday, while those of the largest silver-backed ETF, New York's iShares Silver Trust , fell 0.26% during the same period.
Exchange-traded funds, the most widely recognized type of ETP, back each security issued with physical stocks of a given commodity, creating a product they say is free from counterparty risk.
