All of the Trust’s gold is held by the Custodian, HSBC Bank (USA) NA ("HSBC"), in their London vault except when the gold has been allocated in the vault of a sub-custodian. In such cases HSBC has agreed that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transport the gold from the sub-custodian’s vault to the HSBC’s London vault, at HSBC’s cost and risk.
The sub-custodians that HSBC use are Bank of England and London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) market–making members that provide bullion vaulting and clearing services to third parties.

The ounces of gold listed on the daily barlist may differ from the ounces of gold listed as owned by SPDR® Gold Trust (“Trust”) on the website due to timing differences in trading and settlement. The barlist includes ounces of gold on a settlement date basis, while ounces shown on the website are on a trade date basis. Effective June 1, 2011, the Trust has entered into an agreement with HSBC Bank USA, N.A., the Trust’s Custodian, which will ensure that all of the Trust’s gold is held in allocated form at the end of each working day.
