SPDR® Gold Trust (the "Trust") is an exchange traded fund designed to track the price of gold (net of Trust expenses).
The value of the gold held by the Trust is determined using the recently established LBMA Gold Price PM. For further information and risks regarding the LBMA Gold Price PM, please refer to the offering documents.
Investment involves risks, in particular, investing in one single commodity asset class. Fluctuation in the price of gold may materially adversely affect the value of the Trust. Investors may lose part or all of their investment.
The trading price of the Shares may be different from the underlying NAV per share.
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, take into consideration of the product features, their own investment objectives, risk tolerance level, etc. and seek independent financial and professional advices as appropriate prior to making any investment.

Key Features
The Shares offer investors an innovative, relatively cost efficient way to access the gold market. The Shares are intended to offer investors a means of participating in the gold bullion market without the necessity of taking physical delivery of gold, and to buy and sell that interest through the trading of a security on a regulated stock exchange. The introduction of the Shares was intended to lower many of the barriers, such as access, custody, and transaction costs, that have prevented some investors from investing in gold.
The Shares offer the following key advantages:
1. Easily accessible – listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
2. Secure – The Shares represent fractional, undivided interests in the Trust, the sole assets of which are physical gold bullion and, from time to time, cash.
3. Relatively Cost Effective - For many investors, transaction costs related to the Shares are expected to be lower than the costs associated with the purchase, storage, and insurance of gold bullion in a traditional gold bullion account.
4. Transparent – There exists a 24-hour global over-the counter market for gold bullion, which provides readily available market data. The price, holdings, and net asset value of the Shares, as well as market data for the overall gold bullion market, can be tracked daily at www.spdrgoldshares.com.
5. Flexible – The Shares are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (2840.HK) and trade the same way ordinary stocks do. It is possible to buy or sell the Shares continuously throughout the trading day on the exchange at prices established by the market. Additionally, it is possible to place market, limit and stop-loss orders of the Shares.
Fund Objective
SPDR Gold Shares (“Shares”) are designed to track the price of gold (net of Trust’s expenses). The shares represented ownership units in the SPDR Gold Trust (“Trust”), a New York incorporated investment trust which holds physical gold bars. The Trust is physically backed.

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. Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. 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.
Effective March 20, 2015, the SPDR Gold Trust (2840) adopted the LBMA Gold Price PM as the reference benchmark price of gold in calculating the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Trust. Prior to that date, the Trust used the London PM Fix as the reference benchmark price in calculating the NAV.

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.

Past performance figures of the Trust or of the gold market are not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Trust.
