   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><b>Introduction</b></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The&#xa0;iShares Gold Trust (the &#x201c;Trust&#x201d;) is a grantor trust formed under the laws of the State of New York. The Trust does not have any officers, directors, or employees, and is administered by the The Bank of New York Mellon (the &#x201c;Trustee&#x201d;)&#xa0;acting as trustee pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Depositary Trust Agreement (the &#x201c;Trust Agreement&#x201d;) between the Trustee and iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, the sponsor of the Trust (the &#x201c;Sponsor&#x201d;). The Trust issues&#xa0;units of beneficial interest (&#x201c;Shares&#x201d;) representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets. The assets of the Trust consist primarily of gold bullion held by a custodian as an agent of the Trust responsible only to the Trustee.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The Trust is a passive investment vehicle and seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of gold. The Trust seeks to reflect such performance before payment of the Trust&#x2019;s expenses and liabilities. The Trust does not engage in any activities designed to obtain a profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of gold.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The Trust issues and redeems Shares only in exchange for gold, only in aggregations of 50,000 Shares (a &#x201c;Basket&#x201d;) or integral multiples thereof, and only in transactions with registered broker-dealers that have previously entered into an agreement with the Sponsor and the Trustee governing the terms and conditions of such issuance (such broker-dealers, the &#x201c;Authorized Participants&#x201d;). A list of the current Authorized Participants is available from the Sponsor or the Trustee.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">On each business day, as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. (New York time), the Trustee evaluates the gold held by the Trust and determines the net asset value of the Trust and the net asset value per Share (&#x201c;NAV&#x201d;). The Trustee values the gold held by the Trust using the price per fine troy ounce of gold determined in an electronic auction hosted by ICE Benchmark Administration (&#x201c;IBA&#x201d;) that begins at 3:00 p.m. (London time) and published shortly thereafter, on the day the valuation takes place (such price, the &#x201c;LBMA Gold Price PM&#x201d;). If there is no announced LBMA Gold Price PM on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the most recently announced price of gold determined in an electronic auction hosted by IBA that begins at 10:30 a.m. (London time) (such price, the &#x201c;LBMA Gold Price AM&#x201d;), unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for evaluation. The LBMA Gold Price AM and LBMA Gold Price PM are used by the Trust because they are commonly used by the U.S. gold market as indicators of the value of gold and are permitted to be used under the Trust Agreement. The use of indicators of the value of gold bullion other than the LBMA Gold Price AM and LBMA Gold Price PM could result in materially different fair value pricing of the gold held by the Trust, and as such, could result in different cost or market adjustments or in different redemption value adjustments of the outstanding redeemable capital Shares. Having valued the gold held by the Trust, the Trustee then subtracts all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities of the Trust from the total value of the gold and other assets held by the Trust. The result is the net asset value of the Trust. The Trustee computes NAV by dividing the net asset value of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the date the computation is made.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><b>Liquidity</b></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity needs. In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor&#x2019;s fee. The Trust&#x2019;s only source of liquidity is its sales of gold.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><b>Critical Accounting Policies</b></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements relies on estimates and assumptions that impact the Trust&#x2019;s financial position and results of operations. These estimates and assumptions affect the Trust&#x2019;s application of accounting policies. A description of the valuation of gold bullion, a critical accounting policy that the Trust believes is important to understanding its results of operations and financial position, is provided in the section entitled &#x201c;Valuation of Gold Bullion; Computation of Net Asset Value&#x201d;&#xa0;above. In addition, please refer to Note 2 to the financial statements included in this report for further discussion of the Trust&#x2019;s accounting policies.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The Trust&#x2019;s net asset value increased from $28,723,023,637 at December 31, 2021 to $32,249,057,963&#xa0;at March 31, 2022 a 12.28% increase. The increase in the Trust&#x2019;s net asset value resulted primarily from an increase in the LMBA Gold Price, which grew 6.71% from $1,820.10 at December 31, 2021 to $1,942.15 at March 31, 2022. The increase in the Trust&#x2019;s net asset value also benefited from an increase in the number of outstanding shares, which grew from 829,750,000 Shares at December 31, 2021 to 873,600,000 Shares at March 31, 2022, a consequence of 53,450,000 Shares (1,069 Baskets) being created and 9,600,000 Shares (192 Baskets) being redeemed during the quarter.&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The 6.64% increase in the NAV from $34.62 at December 31, 2021 to $36.92 at March 31, 2022 is directly related to the 6.71% increase in the price of gold.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The NAV increased slightly less than the price of gold on a percentage basis due to the Sponsor&#x2019;s fees, which were $18,507,011 for the quarter, or 0.06% of the Trust&#x2019;s average weighted assets of $30,061,757,554 during the quarter. The NAV of $38.76 on March 8, 2022 was the highest during the quarter, compared with a low during the quarter of $34.00 on January 28, 2022.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $1,925,448,324, resulting from an unrealized gain on investment in gold bullion of $1,881,741,015, a net realized gain of $58,997,894 on gold distributed for the redemption of Shares, and a net realized gain of $3,216,426 from gold bullion sold to pay expenses, partially offset by an net investment loss of $18,507,011 during the quarter. Other than the Sponsor&#x2019;s fees of $18,507,011, the Trust had no expenses during the quarter.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;"><b>Because the Shares are created to reflect the price of the gold held by the Trust, the market price of the Shares will be as unpredictable as the price of gold has historically been. This creates the potential for losses, regardless of whether you hold Shares for a short-, mid- or long- term period.</b></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">Shares are created to reflect, at any given time, the market price of gold owned by the Trust at that time less the Trust&#x2019;s expenses and liabilities. Because the value of Shares depends on the price of gold, it is subject to fluctuations similar to those affecting gold prices. This exposes your investment in Shares to potential losses if you need to sell your Shares at a time when the price of gold is lower than it was when you made your investment in Shares. Even if you are able to hold Shares for the mid- or long-term, you may never realize a profit, because gold markets have historically experienced extended periods of flat or declining prices.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">Following an investment in Shares, several factors may have the effect of causing a decline in the prices of gold and a corresponding decline in the price of Shares. Among them:</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">&#x2022; large sales, including those by the official sector (government, central banks and related institutions), which own a significant portion of the aggregate world holdings. If one or more of these institutions decide to sell in amounts large enough to cause a decline in world gold prices, the price of the Shares will be adversely affected;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">&#x2022; a significant increase in gold hedging activity by gold producers. Should there be an increase in the level of hedge activity of gold producing companies, it could cause a decline in world gold prices, adversely affecting the price of the Shares;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">&#x2022; a significant change in the attitude of speculators and investors towards gold. Should the speculative community take a negative view towards gold, a decline in world gold prices could occur, negatively impacting the price of the Shares;</p>

If that is the case, you will be buying Shares at prices affected by the temporarily high prices of gold, and you may incur losses when the causes for the temporary increase disappear.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and economic impacts are impossible to predict. These and any related events could cause volatility in precious metals prices and have significant impact on Trust performance and the value of an investment in the Shares. Russia is a significant producer of gold. On March 7, 2022, the LBMA suspended six Russian gold and silver refiners from its Good Delivery List. As a result, while existing gold bars from these refiners are considered acceptable, new gold bars are not. Although there was an initial increase in gold prices in late February, which may have been related to the invasion and related events, there has not been a subsequent material impact on gold prices or volatility, the Trust performance or the NAV per share. Additionally, as of the date of this report, the Trust does not expect that the removal of the new gold bars from Russia will have a material impact on the gold market or on the Trust</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 36pt;">Investors should be aware that while gold is used to preserve wealth by investors around the world, there is no assurance that gold will maintain its long- term value in terms of future purchasing power. In the event the price of gold declines, the Sponsor expects the value of an investment in the Shares to decline proportionately.</p>

Securities issued include securities outstanding and securities held in treasury. Temporary equity is a security with redemption features that are outside the control of the issuer, is not classified as an asset or liability in conformity with GAAP, and is not mandatorily redeemable. Includes any type of security that is redeemable at a fixed or determinable price or on a fixed or determinable date or dates, is redeemable at the option of the holder, or has conditions for redemption which are not solely within the control of the issuer. If convertible, the issuer does not control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the conversion option if the holder exercises the option to convert the stock to another class of equity. If the security is a warrant or a rights issue, the warrant or rights issue is considered to be temporary equity if the issuer cannot demonstrate that it would be able to deliver upon the exercise of the option by the holder in all cases. Includes stock with put option held by ESOP and stock redeemable by holder only in the event of a change in control of the issuer.</p></div>

Accordingly, a decline in the price of gold will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares of the Trust. Factors that <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>have the effect of causing a decline in the price of gold include large sales by the official sector (governments, central banks, and related institutions); a significant increase in the hedging activities of gold producers; significant changes in the attitude of speculators, investors and other market participants towards gold; global gold supply and demand; global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; investors&#8217; expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; interest rates; investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds; other economic variables such as income growth, economic output, and monetary policies; and investor confidence.</p>

   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trust&#8217;s policy is to value its investment at fair value.</p>
   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities.

These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:</p>

If there is <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> LBMA Gold Price PM on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the most recently announced price of gold determined in an electronic auction hosted by IBA that begins at <em style="font: inherit;">10:30</em> a.m. (London time) (&#8220;LBMA Gold Price AM&#8221;) unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for evaluation.</p>

Temporary equity is a security with redemption features that are outside the control of the issuer, is not classified as an asset or liability in conformity with GAAP, and is not mandatorily redeemable. Includes any type of security that is redeemable at a fixed or determinable price or on a fixed or determinable date or dates, is redeemable at the option of the holder, or has conditions for redemption which are not solely within the control of the issuer. If convertible, the issuer does not control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the conversion option if the holder exercises the option to convert the stock to another class of equity. If the security is a warrant or a rights issue, the warrant or rights issue is considered to be temporary equity if the issuer cannot demonstrate that it would be able to deliver upon the exercise of the option by the holder in all cases. Includes stock with put option held by ESOP and stock redeemable by holder only in the event of a change in control of the issuer.</p></div>

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The iShares Gold Trust (the &#x201c;Trust&#x201d;) was organized on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; January 21, 2005 &lt;/em&gt;as a New York trust. The trustee is The Bank of New York Mellon (the &#x201c;Trustee&#x201d;), which is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust. The Trust&#x2019;s sponsor is iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the &#x201c;Sponsor&#x201d;). The Trust is governed by the provisions of the Fifth Amended and Restated Depositary Trust Agreement (the &#x201c;Trust Agreement&#x201d;) executed by the Trustee and the Sponsor as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; January 31, 2022. &lt;/em&gt;The Trust&#160;issues units of beneficial interest (&#x201c;Shares&#x201d;) representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of gold. The Trust seeks to reflect such performance before payment of the Trust&#x2019;s expenses and liabilities. The Trust is designed to provide a vehicle for investors to make an investment similar to an investment in gold.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (&#x201c;U.S. GAAP&#x201d;) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#x201c;SEC&#x201d;). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements, have been made. Interim period results are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Trust&#x2019;s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-K for the year ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; December 31, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;as filed with the SEC on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; March 1, 2022.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The Trust qualifies as an investment company solely for accounting purposes and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; for any other purpose and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;946,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;i&gt;Financial Services - Investment Companies, &lt;/i&gt;but is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; registered, and is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; required to be registered, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1940,&lt;/em&gt; as amended.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The Board of Directors authorized a &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt;-for-two reverse stock split for the Trust, effective at the market open on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 24, 2021. &lt;/em&gt;The impact of the stock split was to raise the net asset value per Share (&#x201c;NAV&#x201d;)&#160;by a factor of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;two&lt;/em&gt; and decrease the shares outstanding, resulting in &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; effect on the net assets of the Trust. The financial statements for the Trust have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Fair value of the gold bullion held by the Trust is based on that day&#x2019;s London Bullion Market Association (&#x201c;LBMA&#x201d;) Gold Price PM. &#x201c;LBMA Gold Price PM&#x201d; is the price per fine troy ounce of gold, stated in U.S. dollars, determined by ICE Benchmark Administration (&#x201c;IBA&#x201d;) following an electronic auction consisting of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; or more &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;30&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;second&lt;/em&gt; rounds starting at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;3:00&lt;/em&gt; p.m. (London time), on each day that the London gold market is open for business and published shortly thereafter. If there is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; LBMA Gold Price PM on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the most recently announced price of gold determined in an electronic auction hosted by IBA that begins at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10:30&lt;/em&gt; a.m. (London time) (&#x201c;LBMA Gold Price AM&#x201d;) unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Gain or loss on sales of gold bullion is calculated on a trade date basis using the average cost method.&lt;/p&gt;

The Trustee computes the net asset value per Share by dividing the net asset value of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the date the computation is made.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"/&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Trust Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in aggregations of 50,000 Shares in exchange for gold bullion rather than cash. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. The Trust only transacts with registered broker-dealers that are eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of the Depository Trust Company and that have entered into a contractual arrangement with the Trustee and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption of Shares (such broker-dealers, the &#x201c;Authorized Participants&#x201d;). Holders of Shares of the Trust &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;redeem their Shares at any time acting through an Authorized Participant and in the prescribed aggregations of 50,000 Shares&#x37e; &lt;i&gt;provided&lt;/i&gt;, that redemptions of Shares &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be suspended during any period while regular trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (&#x201c;NYSE Arca&#x201d;) is suspended or restricted, or in which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of gold is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; reasonably practicable.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The per Share amount of gold exchanged for a purchase or redemption represents the per Share amount of gold held by the Trust, after giving effect to its liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;When gold bullion is exchanged in settlement of a redemption, it is considered a sale of gold bullion for accounting purposes.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The Trust is treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; provision for federal income taxes is required. Any interest, expenses, gains and losses are passed through to the holders of Shares of the Trust.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Fair value of the gold bullion held by the Trust is based on that day&#x2019;s London Bullion Market Association (&#x201c;LBMA&#x201d;) Gold Price PM. &#x201c;LBMA Gold Price PM&#x201d; is the price per fine troy ounce of gold, stated in U.S. dollars, determined by ICE Benchmark Administration (&#x201c;IBA&#x201d;) following an electronic auction consisting of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; or more &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;30&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;second&lt;/em&gt; rounds starting at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;3:00&lt;/em&gt; p.m. (London time), on each day that the London gold market is open for business and published shortly thereafter. If there is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; LBMA Gold Price PM on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the most recently announced price of gold determined in an electronic auction hosted by IBA that begins at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10:30&lt;/em&gt; a.m. (London time) (&#x201c;LBMA Gold Price AM&#x201d;) unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Gain or loss on sales of gold bullion is calculated on a trade date basis using the average cost method.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Trust Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in aggregations of 50,000 Shares in exchange for gold bullion rather than cash. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. The Trust only transacts with registered broker-dealers that are eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of the Depository Trust Company and that have entered into a contractual arrangement with the Trustee and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption of Shares (such broker-dealers, the &#x201c;Authorized Participants&#x201d;). Holders of Shares of the Trust &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;redeem their Shares at any time acting through an Authorized Participant and in the prescribed aggregations of 50,000 Shares&#x37e; &lt;i&gt;provided&lt;/i&gt;, that redemptions of Shares &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be suspended during any period while regular trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (&#x201c;NYSE Arca&#x201d;) is suspended or restricted, or in which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of gold is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; reasonably practicable.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The per Share amount of gold exchanged for a purchase or redemption represents the per Share amount of gold held by the Trust, after giving effect to its liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;When gold bullion is exchanged in settlement of a redemption, it is considered a sale of gold bullion for accounting purposes.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trust&#x2019;s policy is to value its investment at fair value.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. Inputs &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be based on independent market data (&#x201c;observable inputs&#x201d;) or they &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be internally developed (&#x201c;unobservable inputs&#x201d;). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
