Bringing the Gold Market to Investors

Key Features

• The investment objective of SPDR Gold Shares (the “Fund”) is for the shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the Fund’s expenses.
• The first US Traded gold ETF and the first US-listed ETF backed by a physical asset.
• For many investors, the costs associated with buying GLD shares in the secondary market and the payment of the Fund’s ongoing expenses may be lower than the costs associated with buying, storing, and insuring physical gold in a traditional allocated gold bullion account.

Gold Bar List

The ounces of gold listed on the daily bar list may differ from the ounces of gold listed as owned by the Trust on the website due to timing differences in trading and settlement. The bar list includes ounces of gold on a settlement date basis, while ounces shown on the website are on a trade date basis. The custody agreements with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and HSBC Bank plc provide that all the Trust’s gold is held in allocated form at the end of each business day.

Inspection Certificates

Bureau Veritas Commodities UK Ltd. (formerly Inspectorate International Limited) conducts two gold counts, an annual full count and a random sample count, each year at the vaults of the custodians.
