The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.12%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

The ETC securities provide exposure to physical gold and are valued based on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) gold price. The Issuer holds physical gold. Each ETC security has a metal entitlement (“Metal Entitlement”), which is the amount of physical gold backing the ETC security. The Metal Entitlement is reduced on a daily basis to reflect the total expense ratio. Such total expense ratio and the daily Metal Entitlement can be found on www.amundietf.com. The ETC securities are not capital protected and you may lose some or all of your investment. You may choose to sell your ETC securities prior to the maturity date in accordance with your investment objectives. You should be aware that the ETC securities entitle you to receive a payment calculated by reference to the value of gold. The gold price fluctuates daily and the value of gold is driven by various factors including its rarity, use in industrial processes and its use as an investment commodity. Pricing of precious metals can be impacted by fundamental issues of supply and demand, political and economic situations (especially in precious metal producing countries) and natural disasters. These factors may all affect the value of your investment. The ETC's base currency is US dollars. The ETC securities can be listed and traded in currencies other than US dollars on one or more stock exchanges. The performance of the ETC securities may be affected by this currency difference.

Intended retail investors:The ETC securities are intended for retail investors who (1) can bear loss of capital and who are not looking for capital guarantee and (2) seek a product offering an exposure to the performance of gold and are willing to hold a medium to long-term investment. Term: This series of ETC securities has a 99Year term with a scheduled maturity date of 23 May 2118. In certain circumstances the Issuer, subject to prior written notice, has the right to terminate the product in a limited number of circumstances, as set out in the Prospectus. The ETC may also be terminated if certain service providers appointed by the Issuer resign or their appointment is terminated and no successor has been appointed within 120 days.

Drawdown — distance from previous peak

This isn’t the return: it shows how far the fund is below its previous peak. 0% = you’re at the peak; below zero = how much you’re down and haven’t recovered yet.

Source: Amundi. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs underlying

How much the product returned above (+) or below (−) the price of its underlying, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 1 of the last 6 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.

The max drawdown is identical across windows because the deepest fall is recent (peak 2 Mar 2026 → trough 16 Jul 2026): one episode dominates every look-back period. Computed from the daily NAV series, always in nominal terms. Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.20%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate. Same formulas as our public methodology: sample standard deviation annualised over 252 days; Sortino with downside deviation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
