The value of SPDR® Gold Shares (the "Shares") may fall as well as rise. An investment in Shares is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Past performance figures of the SPDR® Gold Trust (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.

The prospectus in respect of the Singapore offer of the shares in the Trust is available and may be obtained upon request 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. Shares in the Trust are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, World Gold Trust Services, LLC, SSGA or any of their affiliates. 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.
