Securities backed by allocated physical gold under secured program
Admitted to trading on multiple European and international exchanges

This framework governs the structure, security, and operational aspects of the products, ensuring compliance with established market regulations and the transparent allocation of physical gold. The governance process also includes the maintenance of allocated accounts for all underlying holdings.
Strategic Positioning in the Commodity Market

Long-Term Structure and Security

The physical gold associated with each security remains in allocated accounts for the duration of the programme, providing an unambiguous link between the issued instruments and the tangible commodity.
Integration with Global Markets

The multi-jurisdictional approach enhances the adaptability of the securities to meet the requirements of various trading and settlement systems globally.
