Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks SPDR Gold Shares names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Nov 25, 2025: 27 risks under these headings, as written.28

  • You should consider carefully the risks described below before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the other information included in this report, including the Trust’s financial statements and the related notes.
  • Risks Related to Gold
  • Crises may motivate large-scale sales of gold which could decrease the price of gold and adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
  • Substantial sales of gold by the official sector could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
  • The price of gold may be affected by the sale of gold by ETFs or other exchange traded vehicles tracking gold markets.
  • The value of the gold held by the Trust is determined using the LBMA Gold Price PM. Potential discrepancies in the calculation of the LBMA Gold Price PM, as well as any future changes to the LBMA Gold Price PM, could impact the value of the gold held by the Trust and could have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in the Shares.
  • Risks Related to the Custody of Gold
  • The Trust’s gold may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access.
  • The Trust may not have adequate sources of recovery if its gold is lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed and recovery may be limited, even in the event of fraud, to the market value of the gold at the time the fraud is discovered.
  • Because the Trustee and the Custodians do not oversee or monitor the activities of subcustodians who may temporarily hold the Trust’s gold bars until transported to a Custodian’s London vault premises, failure by the subcustodians to exercise due care in the safekeeping of the Trust’s gold bars could result in a loss to the Trust.
  • The ability of the Trustee and the Custodians to take legal action against subcustodians may be limited, which increases the possibility that the Trust may suffer a loss if a subcustodian does not use due care in the safekeeping of the Trust’s gold bars.
  • The gold bullion custody operations of the Custodians are not subject to specific governmental regulatory supervision.
The other 17 risks
  • General Risks
  • The Trust relies on the information and technology systems of the Trustee, the Custodians, the Marketing Agent and, to a lesser degree, the Sponsor, which could be adversely affected by information systems interruptions, cybersecurity attacks or other disruptions which could have a material adverse effect on the record keeping and operations of the Trust.
  • The Trust, as well as the Sponsor and its service providers, are vulnerable to the effects of geopolitical events, including ongoing and escalating conflicts in the Middle East, the continuation of the war in Ukraine, and changes in international trade policy.
  • The Trust as well as the Sponsor and its service providers are vulnerable to the effects of public health crises such as the coronavirus pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”).
  • Potential conflicts of interest may arise among the Sponsor or its affiliates and the Trust.
  • Risks Related to the Shares
  • The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the gold held by the Trust and fluctuations in the price of gold could materially adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
  • If concerns about the integrity or reliability of the LBMA Gold Price PM arise, even if eventually shown to be without merit, such concerns could adversely affect investor interest in gold and therefore adversely affect the price of gold and the value of an investment in the Shares.
  • The amount of gold represented by the Shares will continue to be reduced during the life of the Trust due to the sales of gold necessary to pay the Trust’s expenses irrespective of whether the trading price of the Shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of gold.
  • The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. This means that the value of the Shares may be adversely affected by Trust losses that, if the Trust had been actively managed, it might have been possible to avoid.
  • The Shares may trade at a price which is at, above or below the NAV per Share and any discount or premium in the trading price relative to the NAV per Share may widen as a result of non-concurrent trading hours between the COMEX and NYSE Arca.
  • The sale of the Trust’s gold to pay expenses at a time of low gold prices could adversely affect the value of the Shares.
  • Shareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the protections afforded by the Commodity Exchange Act.
  • The Trust may be required to terminate and liquidate at a time that is disadvantageous to Shareholders.
  • The liquidity of the Shares may be affected by the withdrawal of Authorized Participants.
  • The lack of an active trading market or a halt in trading of the Shares may result in losses on investment at the time of disposition of the Shares.
  • Redemption orders are subject to postponement, suspension or rejection by the Trustee under certain circumstances.
  • Shareholders do not have the rights enjoyed by investors in certain other vehicles.
  • The Trust’s obligation to reimburse the Marketing Agent and the Authorized Participants for certain liabilities in the event the Sponsor fails to indemnify such parties could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
