iShares Gold Trust (the “Trust”) has on file a registration
statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC to which this
communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the
prospectus and other documents the Trust has filed with the SEC for
more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You
may get these documents for free by visiting
www.iShares.com or EDGAR on the SEC website at
www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Trust will arrange to
send you the prospectus if you request it by calling toll-free
1-800-474-2737.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of
principal. Because shares of the Trust are intended to reflect the
price of the gold held by the Trust, the market price of the shares
is subject to fluctuations similar to those affecting gold prices.
Additionally, shares of the Trust are bought and sold at market
price, not at net asset value ("NAV"). Brokerage commissions will
reduce returns.
Shares of the Trust are intended to reflect, at any given time,
the market price of gold owned by the Trust at that time less the
Trust's expenses and liabilities. The price received upon the sale
of the shares, which trade at market price, may be more or less
than the value of the gold represented by such shares. If an
investor sells the shares at a time when no active market for them
exists, such lack of an active market will most likely adversely
affect the price received for the shares. For a more complete
discussion of the risk factors relative to the Trust, carefully
read the prospectus.
Following an investment in shares of the Trust, several factors
may have the effect of causing a decline in the prices of gold and
a corresponding decline in the price of the shares. Among them: (i)
Large sales by the official sector. A significant portion of the
aggregate world gold holdings is owned by governments, central
banks and related institutions. If one or more of these
institutions decides to sell in amounts large enough to cause a
decline in world gold prices, the price of the shares will be
adversely affected; (ii) 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; and (iii) A significant change in the attitude of
speculators and investors towards gold. Should the speculative
community take a negative view towards gold, it could cause a
decline in world gold prices, negatively impacting the price of the
shares.
Gold Spot Prices provided by The Bullion Desk. No warranty is
given for the accuracy of these prices and no liability is accepted
for reliance thereon. Prices are provided on a reasonable efforts
basis and delays may occur both because of the delay in third
parties communicating the information to the site and because of
delays inherent in posting information over the internet. Prices
shown are indicative only and do not represent actionable
quotations on prices of actual trades.
The amount of gold represented by shares of the Trust will
decrease over the life of the Trust due to sales of gold necessary
to pay the sponsor's fee and trust expenses. Without increases in
the price of gold sufficient to compensate for that decrease, the
price of the shares will also decline, and investors will lose
money on their investment. The Trust will have limited duration.
The liquidation of the Trust may occur at a time when the
disposition of the Trust's gold will result in losses to investors.
Although market makers will generally take advantage of differences
between the NAV and the trading price of Trust shares through
arbitrage opportunities, there is no guarantee that they will do
so. There is no guarantee an active trading market will develop for
the shares, which may result in losses on your investment at the
time of disposition of your shares. The value of the shares of the
Trust will be adversely affected if gold owned by the Trust is lost
or damaged in circumstances in which the Trust is not in a position
to recover the corresponding loss. The Trust is a passive
investment vehicle. This means that the value of your shares may be
adversely affected by Trust losses that, if the Trust had been
actively managed, might have been avoidable.
Shares of the Trust are not deposits or other obligations of
or guaranteed by BlackRock, Inc., and its affiliates, and are not
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency.
The sponsor of the Trust is iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC
(the “Sponsor”). BlackRock Investments, LLC ("BRIL"), assists in
the promotion of the Trust. The Sponsor and BRIL are affiliates of
BlackRock, Inc.
Although shares of the iShares Gold Trust may be bought or sold
on the secondary market through any brokerage account, shares of
the Trust are not redeemable from the Trust except in large
aggregated units called "Baskets". Only registered broker-dealers
that become authorized participants by entering into a contract
with the sponsor and the trustee of the Trust may purchase or
redeem Baskets.
