ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk and will fluctuate in market value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
Foreign investments involve greater risks than US investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets.
Bond funds contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall). There are additional risks for funds that invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities including the risk of issuer default; credit risk and inflation risk. Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer.
The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease. A portion of the dividends you receive may be subject to federal, state, or local income tax or may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Small company issues can be subject to increased volatility and considerable price fluctuations.
Asset allocation cannot assure a profit nor protect against a loss.

The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the gold held by the Trust (less Trust expenses) and fluctuations in the price of gold could materially adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
Investors should be aware that there is no assurance that gold will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. In the event that the price of gold declines, the Sponsor and the Marketing Agent expect the value of an investment in the Shares to similarly decline proportionately.
Not FDIC Insured – No Bank Guarantee – May Lose Value
