LONDON - Amundi Physical Metals plc has announced the issuance of a new tranche of its gold-backed exchange-traded commodity (ETC), expanding its offerings linked to the price of physical gold. The issuance, which is part of the company’s Secured Precious Metal Linked ETC Securities Programme, consists of 65,000 ETC Securities and represents Tranche 694 of the Amundi Physical Gold ETC.
The newly issued securities, dated May 14, 2025, will increase the total number of ETC Securities in the series to 61,071,859. Each security in this tranche has an initial metal entitlement of 0.03967325 fine troy ounces as of the subscription trade date. The securities have been issued at a nominal amount of USD 5.085 each, with a specified interest amount of USD 0.051.
The Amundi Physical Gold ETC provides investors with exposure to the gold price without the necessity of taking physical delivery of the metal. The total expense ratio for the management of these securities is set at 0.12% per annum.
Applications have been made for the ETC Securities to be admitted to trading on several major stock exchanges, including Euronext (EPA:ENX) Paris, Euronext Amsterdam, the Deutsche Börse, Borsa Italiana, and the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG). Furthermore, the securities will be traded on the International Quotation System of the Mexican Stock Exchange, subject to the market’s private placement exemptions.

The final terms of the issuance indicate that the ETC Securities will mature on May 23, 2118, unless redeemed early under specific conditions outlined in the programme.
Investors are reminded that the value of ETC Securities can fluctuate with the price of gold, and the securities are subject to various risks, including market perception and liquidity in the secondary market. The ETC Securities are secured, limited recourse obligations, meaning that investors have recourse only to the Secured Property and not to any other assets of the issuer.
This issuance is based on a press release statement and aims to offer investors an alternative means of gaining exposure to gold prices through the securities market. The net proceeds from the issue will be used to meet the issuer’s obligations under the ETC Securities Programme.
