Overview
Product Description
Gold Bullion Securities is a UCITS Eligible Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) designed to offer security holders a simple, cost-efficient and secure way to access Physical Gold by providing a return equivalent to the movements in the Physical Gold spot price less the applicable management fee. Gold Bullion Securities is backed by physical, allocated Physical Gold held by HSBC Bank plc (the custodian). Only metal that conforms with the London Bullion Market Association's (LBMA) rules for Good Delivery can be accepted by the custodian. Each physical bar is segregated, individually identified and allocated. For example, if Physical Gold rises by 1% over a day, then the ETC will rise by 1%, excluding fees. However if Physical Gold falls by 1% over a day, then the ETC will fall by 1%, excluding fees.
Why GBS?
- Physically backed, direct Investment in Physical Gold.
- UCITS eligible and fully collateralised.
- Transparent performance and fees.
- Transparency: Metal entitlement is published daily.
- Easy to invest: Everything in one product which does not require the investor to manage storage, insurance or delivery of the metal.
- Risk Management: You cannot lose more than the amount invested.
- Liquidity: Trades on exchange, with multiple authorised participants (APs) and market makers (MMs).
Potential Risks
- An investment in an ETP involves a degree of risk. Any decision to invest should be based on the information contained in the relevant prospectus. Prospective investors should obtain independent accounting, tax and legal advice and should consult their professional advisers to ascertain the suitability of this ETP as an investment to their own circumstances.
- This ETP is structured as a debt security and not as shares (equity) and can be created and redeemed on demand by authorised participants and traded on exchange just like shares in a company. This ETP is not a UCITS product.
- Market Risk: The price of Physical Gold may fluctuate and may be affected by numerous factors including supply and demand, the global financial markets and other political, financial or economic events. The value of securities in this ETP is directly affected by increases and decreases in the value of Physical Gold. Accordingly, the value of a security may go up or down and a security holder may lose some or all of the amount invested but can not lose more than the amount invested.
- Liquidity risk: There can be no certainty that securities can always be bought or sold on a stock exchange or that the market price at which the securities may be traded on a stock exchange will always accurately reflect the price of Physical Gold .
- Currency Risk: The price of Physical Gold is generally quoted in US Dollars. To the extent that a security holder values their holdings in another currency, the value will be affected by changes in the exchange rate.
- Please see the risks factors section of the Prospectus for a more detailed discussion of the potential risks
