SPDR® Gold Trust (the "Trust") is an exchange traded fund designed to track the price of gold (net of Trust expenses) and fluctuation in the price of gold may materially and adversely affect the value of the shares. The shares may trade at a price which is at, above or below the NAV per share.

Investing in one single commodity asset class may result in higher price volatility compared to more diversified mutual funds or unit trusts. 

The Trust is not managed and no attempt will be made to buy or sell gold to protect against or take advantage of fluctuations in the price of gold.

The Trust’s gold is not insured and may be subject to loss, damage, theft, or restriction on access.

Since the shares can only be created or redeemed in USD, investors taking advantage of the multi-counter arrangement in HKD and RMB are subject to currency risk.  RMB is currently not freely convertible and is subject to exchange controls and restrictions.

The Trust may not be suitable for all investors. Investors should not invest based on this marketing material only. Investors should read the Trust’s prospectus, including the risk factors, consider the product features and their own investment objectives, risk tolerance level and other circumstances and seek independent financial and professional advice, as appropriate, prior to making any investment.

The performance of the Trust and the LBMA Gold Price PM is HKD converted and may differ from the performance in USD terms due to FX rate fluctuation. Performance is calculated based on NAV-To-NAV, in HKD, including ongoing charges and excluding the Trust's trading costs on the SEHK, and including the reinvestment of any dividend. No dividends were issued during the period, nor are any expected to be issued in future periods.

Calendar year performance figures show by how much the fund increased or decreased in value during the calendar year being shown.

Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. Visit http://www.spdrgoldshares.com/* for most recent month-end performance. Performance returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Frequent trading of ETF's could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs. These investments may have difficulty in liquidating an investment position without taking a significant discount from current market value, which can be a significant problem with certain lightly traded securities.

Investing in commodities entail significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Commodities investing entail significant risk as commodity prices can be extremely volatile due to wide range of factors. A few such factors include overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, international, economic and political changes, change in interest and currency exchange rates.

Nothing contained herein constitutes investment advice and should not be relied upon as such. The value of the Shares of the Trust may fall or rise. Shares in the Trust are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, World Gold Trust Services, LLC, SSGA or any of their affiliates. The Shares are expected to reflect the gold price, therefore the price of the Shares will be as unpredictable as the gold price has historically been. Investors have no right to request the Trust's sponsor to redeem their shares while the Shares are listed. It is intended the holders of the Shares may only deal in their Shares through trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("SEHK"). Redemption of Shares can only be executed in substantial size through authorized participants. Listing of Shares on the SEHK does not guarantee a liquid market for Shares, and Shares may be delisted from the SEHK.
