Important Legal Information and Risk Statement
Due to the risk that the Internet may be subject to interruption, transmission blackout, delayed transmission due to internet traffic, or incorrect data transmission due to public nature of the internet, the information contained in this website may be incomplete, altered or tampered with, and may not present the complete and accurate information. None of the World Gold Trust Services LLC (the "Sponsor"), State Street Global Advisors Singapore Limited (“SSgA”) or any of their affiliates shall be liable for losses of any kind suffered or incurred as a result of the reliance on the information contained in this website.
This website is for information purposes only and does
not have any regard to any investor's specific investment
objectives, financial situation or particular needs. Nothing
contained in this website constitutes or should be construed
as an invitation or offer to acquire, purchase or subscribe
for, or to sell, any gold securities or other financial instruments
or to provide any investment advice, recommendations or other
financial services of any kind.
The Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST") and
the Monetary Authority of Singapore take no responsibility for the contents
of this website, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness
and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising
from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this website.
The prospectus in respect of the Singapore offer of the shares (the "Shares") in the SPDR Gold Trust (the "Trust") is available and may be obtained upon request (subject to availability) from State Street Global Advisors Singapore Limited (“SSgA”) (Co. Reg. No: 200002719D). Investors should read the prospectus of the Trust before deciding whether to purchase Shares. The value of Shares and the income from them, if any, may fall as well as rise. Shares in the Trust are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, the Sponsor, SSgA or any of their affiliates. An investment in Shares is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Past performance figures of the Trust or of the gold market are not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the trust. The Shares are expected to reflect the price of gold, therefore the price of the Shares will be as unpredictable as the price of gold has historically been. You may wish to seek advice from a financial adviser before making a commitment to purchase Shares. In the event that you choose not to seek advice from a financial adviser, you should consider whether the Trust is suitable for you.
Investors have no right to request the Sponsor to redeem their Shares while the Shares are listed. It is intended that holders of Shares may only deal in their Shares through trading on the SGX-ST. Listing of the Shares on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Shares.

intended for distribution to, and use by, persons in Singapore
only. It is not intended for distribution to, or use by,
any person in any other jurisdiction. Access to the information
contained in this website may be restricted by laws or regulations
applicable to you. None of the services or investments referred
to in this website are available, and prospectuses in respect
of them will not be distributed to persons resident in any
state or territory where such distribution would be contrary
to local law or regulation. It is your responsibility as
the user to be informed of and to observe all applicable
laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction.
