SPDR® Gold Shares

SPDR^® Gold Shares offers investors an innovative and cost-efficient way to access the gold market by providing a means of participating in the gold market without the necessity of taking physical delivery of gold, eliminating a number of barriers (e.g. buying, storing and insuring gold) which might otherwise prevent investors from using gold as an asset allocation and trading tool. SPDR^® Gold Shares also offers an investment opportunity to certain pension funds and mutual funds which are otherwise unable to hold physical commodities, such as gold, or the derivatives.

SPDR^® Gold Shares represent fractional, undivided beneficial ownership interests in SPDR® Gold Trust, the sole assets of which are gold bullion, and, from time to time, cash. SPDR^® Gold Shares are intended to lower a large number of the barriers preventing investors from using gold as an asset allocation and trading tool. These barriers have included the logistics of buying, storing and insuring gold. In addition, certain pension funds and mutual funds do not or cannot hold physical commodities, such as gold, or the derivatives.

SPDR^® Gold Shares can be traded on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in HKD, USD and RMB under a multi-counter arrangement.
