Statements preceded by, followed by or that include words such as &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148;
  &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;predict,&#148; &#147;potential&#148; or similar expressions are intended to identify some of the forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are included, along with this statement, for purposes of complying with the safe harbor
  provisions of that Act. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) included in this prospectus that address activities, events or developments that will or may occur in the future, including such matters as changes in commodity prices and market conditions (for gold and the Shares), the Trust&#146;s
  operations, the Sponsor&#146;s plans and references to the Trust&#146;s future success and other similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements are based upon certain assumptions and analyses the Sponsor made
  based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate in the circumstances. Whether or not actual results and developments will conform to the Sponsor&#146;s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks
  and uncertainties, including the special considerations discussed in this prospectus, general economic, market and business conditions, changes in laws or regulations, including those concerning taxes, made by governmental authorities or regulatory bodies, and other world economic and political
  developments. See &#147;Risk Factors.&#148; Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments the Sponsor anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that
  they will result in the expected consequences to, or have the expected effects on, the Trust&#146;s operations or the value of the Shares. Moreover, neither the Sponsor nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the forward-looking statements. Neither the Trust nor the
  Sponsor is under a duty to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform such statements to actual results or to reflect a change in the Sponsor&#146;s expectations or predictions.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The Trust is a common law trust, formed on September&nbsp;1, 2009 under New York law pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trust holds gold and is expected from time to time to issue Baskets in exchange for deposits of gold and to distribute gold in connection with redemptions of Baskets. The
  investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the Trust&#146;s expenses. The Sponsor believes that, for many investors, the Shares will represent a cost-effective investment in gold. The material terms of the Trust Agreement are discussed in
  greater detail under the section &#147;Description of the Trust Agreement.&#148; The Shares represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust and are expected to be traded under the ticker symbol SGOL on the NYSE Arca.</FONT></P>


<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The Trust&#146;s Sponsor is ETF Securities USA LLC. The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 17, 2009, and is wholly-owned by ETF Securities Limited. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the governing documents of the Sponsor, ETF Securities

  course), (2) calculating the NAV of the Trust and the NAV per Share, (3) receiving and processing orders from Authorized Participants to create and redeem Baskets and coordinating the processing of such orders with the Custodian and The Depository Trust Company (DTC) and (4) selling the Trust&#146;s
  gold as needed to pay any extraordinary Trust expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor. The general role, responsibilities and regulation of the Trustee are further described in &#147;The Trustee.&#148;</FONT></P>

      The Trust expects to create and redeem the Shares from time to time, but only in one or more Baskets (a Basket equals a block of 50,000 Shares). The creation and redemption of Baskets requires the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount of
      gold and any cash represented by the Baskets being created or redeemed, the amount of which will be based on the combined NAV of the number of Shares included in the Baskets being created or redeemed. The initial amount of gold required for deposit with the Trust to
      create Shares is 5,000 ounces per Basket. The number of ounces of gold required to create a Basket or to be delivered upon the redemption of a Basket will gradually decrease over time, due to the accrual of the Trust&#146;s expenses and the sale or delivery of the Trust&#146;s gold to
      pay the Trust&#146;s expenses. See &#147;Business of the Trust&#151;Trust Expenses.&#148; Baskets may be created or redeemed only by Authorized Participants, who will pay a transaction fee for each order to create or redeem Baskets and may sell the Shares included in the Baskets they create
      to other investors. The Trust will not issue fractional Baskets. See &#147;Creation and Redemption of Shares&#148; for more details.</FONT></P></TD>

      The NAV of the Trust is the aggregate value of the Trust&#146;s assets less its liabilities (which include estimated accrued but unpaid fees and expenses). In determining the NAV of the Trust, the Trustee will value the gold held by the Trust on the basis of the price of an ounce
      of gold as set by the afternoon session of the twice daily fix of the price of an ounce of gold which starts at 3:00 PM London, England time and is performed by the five members of the London gold fix (London PM Fix). See &#147;Operation of the Gold Bullion Market&#151;The
      London Bullion Market&#148; for a description of the operation of the London gold price fix. The Trustee will determine the NAV of the Trust on each day the NYSE Arca is open for regular trading, as promptly as practicable after 4:00 p.m. New York time. If no London PM
      Fix is made on a particular evaluation day or has not been announced by 4:00 p.m. New York time on a particular evaluation day, the next most recent London gold price fix (AM or PM) will be used in the determination of the NAV of the Trust, unless the Sponsor

      necessary to permit payment of the Sponsor&#146;s Fee and sell gold in such quantity as may be necessary to permit payment in cash of Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. The Trustee is authorized to sell gold at such times and in the smallest amounts required to permit
      such cash payments as they become due, it being the intention to avoid or minimize the Trust&#146;s holdings of assets other than gold. Accordingly, the amount of gold to be sold will vary from time to time depending on the level of the Trust&#146;s expenses and the market price of

Further, Shareholders&#146;
  recourse against the Trust, the Trustee and the Sponsor, under New York law, the Custodian, the Zurich Sub-Custodian and any other subcustodian, under English law, and any subcustodians under the law governing their custody operations is limited.

  Custodian is only liable for losses that are the direct result of its own negligence, fraud or willful default in the performance of its duties. Any such liability is further limited, in the case of the Allocated Account Agreement, to the market value of the gold held in the Trust Allocated Account at the time
  such negligence, fraud or willful default is discovered by the Custodian and, in the case of the Unallocated Account Agreement, to the amount of gold credited to the Trust Unallocated Account at the time such negligence, fraud or willful default is discovered by the Custodian.

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Gold supply over the past ten years has averaged 3,784 tonnes with primary production (new mine output) accounting for approximately two thirds of the total.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">There is a slight overall decline in gold supply when comparing the average 5-year period ended 2002 to the average 5-year period ended 2007 at 3,887 tonnes and 3,681 tonnes respectively.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The biggest source of demand for gold output over the period shown has come from the jewellery sector which has accounted for an average of 83% of all demand. Demand from this sector has typically exceeded annual world mine production, meaning additional sources of supply have been relied
  upon to fill the gap.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">A significant new source of demand has been from the Investment in Exchange Traded Funds and related products comprising of 894 tonnes over 6 years and a cumulative average growth rate of 109%.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The price of gold is volatile and fluctuations are expected to have a direct impact on the value of the Shares. However, movements in the price of gold in the past are not a reliable indicator of future movements. Movements may be influenced by various factors, including announcements from
  central banks regarding a country&#146;s reserve gold holdings, agreements among central banks, political uncertainties around the world, and economic concerns.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The global trade in gold consists of Over-the-Counter (OTC) transactions in spot, forwards, and options and other derivatives, together with exchange-traded futures and options.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:8.4mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B>Global Over-The-Counter Market</B></FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The OTC market trades on a 24-hour per day continuous basis and accounts for most global gold trading.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Market makers, as well as others in the OTC market, trade with each other and with their clients on a principal-to-principal basis. All risks and issues of credit are between the parties directly involved in the transaction. Market makers include the market-making members of the LBMA, the trade
  association that acts as the coordinator for activities conducted on behalf of its members and other participants in the London bullion market. The ten market-making members of the LBMA are: Barclays Bank plc, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (through its London branch), Goldman
  Sachs International, JPMorgan Chase Bank, ScotiaMocatta (a division of the Bank of Nova Scotia), Soci&eacute;t&eacute; G&eacute;n&eacute;rale, Mitsui &amp; Co Precious Metals Inc, Royal Bank of Canada, and UBS AG. The OTC market provides a relatively flexible market in terms of quotes, price, size, destinations for delivery and
  other factors. Bullion dealers customize transactions to meet clients&#146; requirements. The OTC market has no formal structure and no open-outcry meeting place.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The main centers of the OTC market are London and New York. Mining companies, central banks, manufacturers of jewelry and industrial products, together with investors and speculators, tend to transact their business through one of these market centers. Centers such as Dubai and several cities in
  the Far East also transact substantial OTC market business, typically involving jewelry and small bars (1 kilogram or less). Bullion dealers have offices around the world and most of the </FONT></P>

<P><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">world&#146;s major bullion dealers are either members or associate members of the LBMA. Of the ten market-making members of the LBMA, six offer clearing services. There are a further 59 full members, plus a number of associate members around the world. The number of LBMA market-making, clearing
  and full members reported in this prospectus are as of November 24, 2008. These numbers may change from time to time as new members are added and existing members drop out.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In the OTC market, the standard size of gold trades between market makers ranges between 5,000 and 10,000 ounces. Bid-offer spreads are typically 50 US cents per ounce. Certain dealers are willing to offer clients competitive prices for much larger volumes, including trades over 100,000 ounces,
  although this will vary according to the dealer, the client and market conditions, as transaction costs in the OTC market are negotiable between the parties and therefore vary widely. Cost indicators can be obtained from various information service providers as well as dealers.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Liquidity in the OTC market can vary from time to time during the course of the 24-hour trading day. Fluctuations in liquidity are reflected in adjustments to dealing spreads&#151;the differential between a dealer&#146;s &#147;buy&#148; and &#147;sell&#148; prices. The period of greatest liquidity in the gold market generally occurs
  at the time of day when trading in the European time zones overlaps with trading in the United States, which is when OTC market trading in London, New York and other centers coincides with futures and options trading on the COMEX. This period lasts for approximately four hours each New York
  business day morning.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:6.3mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B>The London Bullion Market</B></FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Although the market for physical gold is distributed globally, most OTC market trades are cleared through London. In addition to coordinating market activities, the LBMA acts as the principal point of contact between the market and its regulators. A primary function of the LBMA is its
  involvement in the promotion of refining standards by maintenance of the &#147;London Good Delivery Lists,&#148; which are the lists of LBMA accredited melters and assayers of gold. The LBMA also coordinates market clearing and vaulting, promotes good trading practices and develops standard
  documentation.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The terms &#147;loco London&#148; gold and &#147;loco Zurich&#148; gold refer to gold physically held in London and Zurich, respectively, that meets the specifications for weight, dimensions, fineness (or purity), identifying marks (including the assay stamp of a LBMA acceptable refiner) and appearance set forth in
  &#147;The Good Delivery Rules for Gold and Silver Bars&#148; published by the LBMA. Gold bars meeting these requirements are described in this prospectus from time to time as &#147;London Good Delivery Bars.&#148; The unit of trade in London is the troy ounce, whose conversion between grams is: 1,000 grams =
  32.1507465 troy ounces and 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams. A London Good Delivery Bar is acceptable for delivery in settlement of a transaction on the OTC market. Typically referred to as 400-ounce bars, a London Good Delivery Bar must contain between 350 and 430 fine troy ounces of gold, with
  a minimum fineness (or purity) of 995 parts per 1,000 (99.5%), be of good appearance and be easy to handle and stack. The fine gold content of a gold bar is calculated by multiplying the gross weight of the bar (expressed in units of 0.025 troy ounces) by the fineness of the bar. A London Good
  Delivery Bar must also bear the stamp of one of the melters and assayers who are on the LBMA approved list. Unless otherwise specified, the gold spot price always refers to that of a London Good Delivery Bar. Business is generally conducted over the phone and through electronic dealing systems.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Twice daily during London trading hours there is a fix which provides reference gold prices for that day&#146;s trading. Many long-term contracts will be priced on the basis of either the morning (AM) or afternoon (PM) London fix, and market participants will usually refer to one or the other of these
  prices when looking for a basis for valuations. The London fix is the most widely used benchmark for daily gold prices and is quoted by various financial information sources.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Formal participation in the London fix is traditionally limited to five members, each of which is a bullion dealer and a member of the LBMA. The chairmanship now rotates annually among the five member firms. The morning session of the fix starts at 10:30 AM London time and the afternoon
  session starts at 3:00 PM London time. The members of the gold fixing are currently The Bank of Nova Scotia&#151;ScotiaMocatta, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Soci&eacute;t&eacute; </FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Orders are placed either with one of the five fixing members or with another bullion dealer who will then be in contact with a fixing member during the fixing. The fixing members net-off all orders when communicating their net interest at the fixing. The fix begins with the fixing chairman suggesting
  a &#147;trying price,&#148; reflecting the market price prevailing at the opening of the fix. This is relayed by the fixing members to their dealing rooms which have direct communication with all interested parties. Any market participant may enter the fixing process at any time, or adjust or withdraw his order. The
  gold price is adjusted up or down until all the buy and sell orders are matched, at which time the price is declared fixed. All fixing orders are transacted on the basis of this fixed price, which is instantly relayed to the market through various media. The London fix is widely viewed as a full and fair
  representation of all market interest at the time of the fix.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:6.3mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B>The Zurich Bullion Market</B></FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">After London, the second principal center for spot or physical gold trading is Zurich. For eight hours a day, trading occurs simultaneously in London and Zurich&#151;with Zurich normally opening and closing an hour earlier than London. During these hours, Zurich closely rivals London in its influence
  over the spot price because of the importance of the three major Swiss banks&#151;Credit Suisse, Swiss Bank Corporation, and Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS)&#151;in the physical gold market. Each of these banks has long maintained its own refinery, often taking physical delivery of gold and processing it for
  other regional markets. The loco Zurich bullion specification is the same as for the London bullion market, which allows for gold physically located in Zurich to be quoted loco London and vice versa.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:6.3mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B>Futures Exchanges</B></FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The most significant gold futures exchanges are the COMEX and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM). The COMEX is the largest exchange in the world for trading precious metals futures and options and has been trading gold since 1974. The TOCOM has been trading gold since 1982.
  Trading on these exchanges is based on fixed delivery dates and transaction sizes for the futures and options contracts traded. Trading costs are negotiable. As a matter of practice, only a small percentage of the futures market turnover ever comes to physical delivery of the gold represented by the
  contracts traded. Both exchanges permit trading on margin. Margin trading can add to the speculative risk involved given the potential for margin calls if the price moves against the contract holder. The COMEX operates through a central clearance system. On June 6, 2003, TOCOM adopted a similar
  clearance system. In each case, the exchange acts as a counterparty for each member for clearing purposes.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:6.3mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B>Other Exchanges</B></FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">There are other gold exchange markets, such as the Istanbul Gold Exchange (trading gold since 1995), the Shanghai Gold Exchange (trading gold since October 2002) and the Hong Kong Chinese Gold &amp; Silver Exchange Society (trading gold since 1918).</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:6.3mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B>Market Regulation</B></FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The global gold markets are overseen and regulated by both governmental and self-regulatory organizations. In addition, certain trade associations have established rules and protocols for market practices and participants. In the United Kingdom, responsibility for the regulation of the financial market
  participants, including the major participating members of the LBMA, falls under the authority of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) as provided by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSM Act). Under this act, all UK-based banks, together with other investment firms, are subject to a
  range of requirements, including fitness and properness, capital adequacy, liquidity, and systems and controls.</FONT></P>

Regulation of spot, commercial forwards, and deposits of gold and silver not covered by the FSM Act is provided for by The London Code of Conduct for Non-Investment
  Products, which was established by market participants in conjunction with the Bank of England.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The TOCOM has authority to perform financial and operational surveillance on its members&#146; trading activities, scrutinize positions held by members and large-scale customers, and monitor the price movements of futures markets by comparing them with cash and other derivative markets&#146; prices. To
  act as a Futures Commission Merchant Broker, a broker must obtain a license from Japan&#146;s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the regulatory authority that oversees the operations of the TOCOM.</FONT></P>

The Trust will take delivery of physical gold that complies with the COMEX gold delivery rules or the LBMA gold delivery rules. Because the Trust will not trade in gold futures contracts on any
  futures exchange, the Trust with not be regulated by the CFTC under the Commodity Exchange Act as a &#147;commodity pool,&#148; and will not be operated by a CFTC-regulated commodity pool operator. Investors in the Trust will not receive the regulatory protections afforded to investors in regulated
  commodity pools, nor may the COMEX or any futures exchange enforce its rules with respect to the Trust&#146;s activities. In addition, investors in the Trust will not benefit from the protections afforded to investors in gold futures contracts on regulated futures exchanges.</FONT></P>

The Shares are intended to constitute a simple and cost-effective means of making an investment similar to an investment in gold. An investment in physical gold
  requires expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the assay, transportation, warehousing and insurance of the metal.

Accordingly, the amount of gold to be sold will vary from time to time depending on the level of the Trust&#146;s expenses and the

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The Trust is a common law trust, formed on September&nbsp;1, 2009 under New York law pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trust holds gold and is expected from time to time to issue Baskets in exchange for deposits of gold and to distribute gold in connection with redemptions of Baskets. The
  investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the Trust&#146;s expenses. The Sponsor believes that, for many investors, the Shares will represent a cost-effective investment relative to traditional means of investing in gold. The material terms of
  the Trust Agreement are discussed under &#147;Description of the Trust Agreement.&#148; The Shares represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust. The Trust is not managed like a corporation or an active investment vehicle. The gold held by the Trust will only be
  delivered to pay the Sponsor&#146;s Fee, distributed to Authorized Participants in connection with the redemption of Baskets or sold (1) on an as-needed basis to pay Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, (2) in the event the Trust terminates and liquidates its assets, or (3) as otherwise required by law
  or regulation. The delivery or sale of gold to pay fees and expenses by the Trust is a taxable event to Shareholders. See &#147;United States Federal Income Tax Consequences&#151;Taxation of US Shareholders.&#148;</FONT></P>

The Trust will not hold or trade in commodity futures contracts regulated by the CEA, as administered by the CFTC. The Trust is not a commodity pool
  for purposes of the CEA, and none of the Sponsor, or the Trustee is subject to regulation as a commodity pool operator or a commodity trading adviser in connection with the Shares.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The Trust expects to create and redeem Shares from time to time but only in Baskets (a Basket equals a block of 50,000 Shares). The number of outstanding Shares is expected to increase and decrease from time to time as a result of the creation and redemption of Baskets. The creation and
  redemption of Baskets requires the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount of gold and any cash represented by the Baskets being created or redeemed. The total amount of gold and any cash required for the creation of Baskets will be based on the combined </FONT></P>

The initial amount of gold required for deposit with the Trust to create Shares is 5,000 ounces per Basket. The number of ounces of gold required to create a Basket or to be delivered upon a redemption of a Basket will gradually decrease over
  time. This is because the Shares comprising a Basket will represent a decreasing amount of gold due to the delivery or sale of the Trust&#146;s gold to pay the Sponsor&#146;s Fee or the Trust&#146;s expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. Baskets may be created or redeemed only by Authorized Participants, who will pay
  a transaction fee of $500 for each order to create or redeem Baskets. Authorized Participants may sell to other investors all or part of the Shares included in the Baskets they purchase from the Trust. See &#147;Plan of Distribution.&#148;</FONT></P>

The NAV of the Trust is the aggregate value of the Trust&#146;s assets less its estimated accrued but unpaid liabilities (which include
  accrued expenses). In determining the Trust&#146;s NAV, the Trustee will value the gold held by the Trust based on the London PM Fix price for an ounce of gold or such other publicly available price as the Sponsor may deem fairly represents the commercial value of the Trust&#146;s gold. The Trustee will also
  determine the NAV per Share. If on a day when the Trust&#146;s NAV is being calculated the London PM Fix is not available or has not been announced by 4:00 p.m. New York time, the gold price from the next most recent London fix (AM or PM) will be used, unless the Sponsor determines that such

  creation or redemption of Baskets, upon a delivery of gold to pay the Sponsor&#146;s Fee or upon a sale of gold to pay the Trust&#146;s expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, it is anticipated that only a small amount of unallocated gold will be held in the Trust Unallocated Account. Cash held by the Trust will
  not generate any income. Each Share will represent a proportional interest, based on the total number of Shares outstanding, in the gold and any cash held by the Trust, less the Trust&#146;s liabilities (which include accrued but unpaid fees and expenses). The Sponsor expects that the secondary market trading
  price of the Shares will fluctuate over time in response to the price of gold. In addition, the Sponsor expects that the trading price of the Shares will reflect the estimated accrued but unpaid expenses of the Trust.</FONT></P>

  US Shareholder (as defined below), represents, insofar as it describes conclusions as to US federal income tax law and subject to the limitations and qualifications described therein, the opinion of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, counsel to the Sponsor and special US tax counsel to the Trust. An opinion
  of counsel, however, is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or on the courts, and does not preclude the IRS from taking a contrary position. The discussion below is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code and judicial and administrative interpretations of the
  Code, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively. The tax treatment of Shareholders may vary depending upon their own particular circumstances. Certain Shareholders (including broker-dealers, traders, banks and other financial
  institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt entities, Shareholders whose functional currency is not the US dollar or other investors with special circumstances) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. In addition, the following discussion applies only to investors
  who will hold Shares as &#147;capital assets&#148; within the meaning of Code section 1221 and not as part of a straddle, hedging transaction or a conversion or constructive sale transaction. Moreover, the discussion below does not address the effect of any state, local or foreign tax law or any transfer tax on an
  owner of Shares. Purchasers of Shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to all federal, state, local and foreign tax law or any transfer tax considerations potentially applicable to their investment in Shares.</FONT></P>

For purposes of this discussion, it is assumed that all of a Shareholder&#146;s Shares are acquired on the same date and at the same

A Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for its share of any gold sold by the Trust generally will be determined by

After any

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Under current law, gains recognized by individuals from the sale of &#147;collectibles,&#148; including gold bullion, held for more than one year are taxed at a maximum federal income tax rate of 28%, rather than the 15% rate applicable to most other long-term capital gains. For these purposes, gain
  recognized by an individual upon the sale of an interest in a trust that holds collectibles is treated as gain recognized on the sale of collectibles, to the extent that the gain is attributable to unrealized appreciation in value of the collectibles held by the trust. Therefore, any gain recognized by an individual
  US Shareholder attributable to a sale of Shares held for more than one year, or attributable to the Trust&#146;s sale of any gold bullion which the Shareholder is treated (through its ownership of Shares) as having held for more than one year, generally will be taxed at a maximum rate of 28%. The tax rates
  for capital gains recognized upon the sale of assets held by an individual US Shareholder for one year or less or by a taxpayer other than an individual US taxpayer are generally the same as those at which ordinary income is taxed.</FONT></P>

  Shareholder with respect to the sale.</FONT></P>

Shareholders may deduct their respective pro rata shares of each expense incurred by the
  Trust to the same extent as if they directly incurred the expense. Shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts, however, may be required to treat some or all of the expenses of the Trust, to the extent that such expenses may be deducted, as miscellaneous itemized deductions. Individuals may deduct
  certain miscellaneous itemized deductions only to the extent they exceed 2% of adjusted gross income. In addition, such deductions may be subject to further limitations under applicable provisions of the Code, and may not be deductible at all for alternative minimum tax purposes.</FONT></P>

Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned that some of their activities will result in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a
  manner which would render them statutory underwriters and subject them to the prospectus-delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act. For example, a broker-dealer firm or its client will be deemed a statutory underwriter if it purchases a Basket from the Trust, breaks the Basket down into the
  constituent Shares and sells the Shares directly to its customers; or if it chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new Shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for the Shares. A determination of whether a particular market participant is an underwriter

<P style="margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We
    have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of the ETFS
    Gold Trust (the &#147;Trust&#148;) as of September 1, 2009. This financial
    statement is the responsibility of the Trust&#146;s management. Our responsibility
    is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. The Trust is
  not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
  expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement, assessing the accounting principles used
  and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In our opinion, such financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of September 1, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</FONT></P>

Several factors could affect the price of gold: (i) global gold supply and demand, which is influenced by such factors as
  forward selling by gold producers, purchases made by gold producers to unwind gold hedge positions, central bank purchases and sales, and production and cost levels in major gold-producing countries; (ii) investors&#146; expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; (iii) currency exchange rates; (iv)
  interest rates; (v) investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds; and (vi) global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. In addition, 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 expects the value of an investment in the Shares to decline proportionately. Each of these events could have a material affect on the Trust&#146;s financial position and results of operations.</FONT></P>

The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any action that in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless
it shall be furnished with reasonable security and indemnity against such expense

such monies in an account or accounts for the exclusive benefit of the Trust.
The Trustee may also employ custodians for Trust assets other than Gold,
agents, attorneys, accountants, auditors and other professionals and shall not

will inform the Sponsor of such order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of
judicial or administrative process that in any way affects the Trust and
consult in good faith with the Sponsor as to the course of action by the
Trustee. If the Trustee complies with any such judicial or administrative
order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative

any document in connection with the provisions of this Agreement or any
Authorized Participant Agreement has been duly authorized to do so, provided,
however, that where a list of authorized officials of a person and their

At any time the Trustee may request an instruction in writing in English from
the Sponsor or an Authorized Participant with respect to any action which the
Sponsor or an Authorized Participant is authorized to direct the Trustee
hereunder, or under the Custody Agreements, any Authorized Participant
Agreement or any other agreement entered into by the Trustee in connection with
the Trustee&#146;s administration of the Trust, and may, at its own option, include
in such request the course of action it proposes to take and the date on which
it proposes to act, regarding any matter arising in connection with its duties
and obligations under any such agreement. The Trustee shall not be liable for
acting in accordance with such a proposal on or after the date specified

Days after the Sponsor or Authorized Participant receives the Trustee&#146;s request
for instructions and its proposed course of action, and provided further that,

ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions hereof, and any reasonable
construction of any such provision hereof by the Trustee in good faith shall be
binding upon the parties hereto, each Authorized Participant and all Beneficial
Owners. In the event of any ambiguity or inconsistency or any other uncertainty
in any notice, instruction or other communication received by the Trustee under
this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Sponsor and the giver thereof, and
may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action other than to
retain possession of the property of the Trust, unless the Trustee receives
such further written instructions, from the Sponsor or otherwise, that
eliminate such ambiguity, inconsistency or uncertainty. </FONT></P>

or of any other taxing authority having jurisdiction in the premises. For all
such taxes and charges and for any expenses, including counsel&#146;s fees, which
the Trustee may sustain or incur with respect to such taxes or charges, the

 Sub-Custodians solely for the temporary custody and safekeeping of Bullion
 until transported to the relevant vault premises as provided in clause 7.4.
 The Sub-Custodians the Custodian selects may themselves select sub-custodians
 to provide such temporary custody and safekeeping of Bullion, but such
 sub-custodians shall not by such selection or otherwise be, or be considered
 to be, a Sub-Custodian as such term is used herein. The Custodian will use
 reasonable care in selecting any Sub-Custodian. As of the date of this
 Agreement, the Sub-Custodians that the Custodian uses are: Brinks Global
 Services, Via Mat International and Group 4 Security Limited. The Custodian
 will notify each of the Trustee and the Sponsor if it selects any additional
 Sub-Custodian, or stops using any Sub-Custodian for such purpose. The receipt
 of notice by each of the Trustee and the Sponsor that the Custodian has
 selected a Sub-Custodian (including those named in this clause 8.1) shall not
 be deemed to limit the Custodian&#146;s responsibility in selecting such
 Sub-Custodian. </FONT></P>

 considers appropriate and will be responsible for all costs, fees and
 expenses (including any relevant taxes) in relation to any such insurance
 policy or policies. Upon reasonable prior written notice, in
 connection with the preparation of the initial registration statement under
 the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering any Shares,
 the Custodian will allow its insurance to be reviewed by the Trustee and by
 the Sponsor. The Custodian also will allow the Trustee and the Sponsor to
 review such insurance in connection with any amendment to that initial
 registration statement and from time to time, in each case upon reasonable
 prior written notice from the Trustee. Any permission to review the
 Custodian&#146;s insurance is limited to the term of this agreement and is
 conditioned on the reviewing party executing a form of confidentiality
 agreement provided by the Custodian, or if the confidentiality agreement is
 already in force, acknowledging that the review is subject thereto; provided,
 however, that the Custodian agrees to use reasonable efforts to assist the
 Trustee in finding a replacement custodian (including, but not limited to,
 agreeing to an assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder) should any
 event described in this clause 11.4 so prevent the Custodian from performing

 Subject to clause 5.2 below, in the case of a transfer under clause 4.1(c),
 the Custodian will use its commercially reasonable endeavours to complete the
 allocation of such deposits of Bullion by not later than 2:00 p.m. (London
 time) on the London/Zurich Business Day after receipt of notice given in the
 form prescribed in clause 4.4(b). Following the Custodian&#146;s receipt of such
 notice, the Custodian shall identify bars or ingots of a weight most closely
 approximating, but not exceeding, the balance in the Unallocated Account and
 shall transfer such weight from the Unallocated Account to the Allocated
 Account. The Trustee acknowledges that the process of allocation of Bullion
 to the Allocated Account from the Unallocated Account may involve minimal
 adjustments to the weights of Bullion to be allocated to adjust such weight
 to the number of whole bars available.</FONT></P>

 are authorized to give instructions on the Trustee&#146;s behalf. Until the
 Custodian receives written notice to the contrary, the Custodian is entitled
 to assume that any of those people have full and unrestricted power to give
 instructions on the Trustee&#146;s behalf. The Custodian is also entitled to rely
 on any instructions which are from, or which purport to emanate from, any
 person who appears to have such authority.</FONT></P>

 Without prejudice to clause 5.1 above, unless otherwise notified by the

 will combine such Bullion with any Bullion then standing to the credit of the
 Unallocated Account (excluding Bullion which has been de-allocated in order
 to effect delivery of Bullion to a redeeming Authorized Participant or
 Shareholder or pursuant to other withdrawal occurring on such day) and to the
 fullest extent possible, transfer such Bullion to the Allocated Account such
 that the amount of Bullion that remains standing to the credit of the Trustee
 in the Unallocated Account does not exceed 430.000 fine ounces at the close
 of each London/Zurich Business Day.</FONT></P>
