The Trust structure allows for shares to be created and redeemed according to supply and demand in the market. The gold bullion held by the trust is inspected biannually by the independent metal assayer, Inspectorate International. The pricing information, net asset value of the Trust, and gold bar numbers held by the Trust are published daily on ETFS website. <p> TRUST MANAGEMENT: The Bank of New York Mellon is the trustee of the Trust and is generally responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust.
