Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
LONDON - Amundi Physical Metals plc has announced the issuance of a new tranche of its gold-linked exchange-traded commodities (ETCs), expanding its Amundi Physical Gold ETC offerings. The issuance, Tranche 697, consists of 655,000 ETC Securities and follows the company’s secured precious metal linked ETC Securities Programme.
The newly issued ETC Securities are part of a series that provides investors with exposure to gold prices without the need for physical delivery. Following this issue, the aggregate number of ETC Securities for the series will reach 62,084,859. Each security in this tranche has a metal entitlement of 0.03967247 fine troy ounces as of the subscription trade date.
The ETC Securities, which have a scheduled maturity date of May 23, 2118, are designed to track the price of gold and offer investors a form of participation in the gold market through the securities market. The issuer has set the total expense ratio at 0.12% per annum, which is deducted from the metal entitlement to cover operational fees.
Amundi has made applications for the ETC Securities to be admitted to trading on several prominent stock exchanges, including Euronext (EPA:ENX) Paris, Euronext Amsterdam, Deutsche Börse, Borsa Italiana, the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG), and the International Quotation System of the Mexican Stock Exchange.
Investors should note that the value of the ETC Securities is influenced by the price of gold, and the securities are subject to market perception, creditworthiness of transaction parties, and liquidity in the secondary market. The ETC Securities offer a means of gaining exposure to gold price movements, serving as an alternative to direct investment in the commodity.
The ETC Securities are backed by gold held by HSBC Bank plc as the custodian, and are secured, limited recourse obligations of the issuer. In the event of insolvency, the ETC Securities rank equally amongst themselves and are secured by the assets comprising the gold entitlement associated with each security.
This announcement is based on a press release statement from Amundi Physical Metals plc and presents the key facts surrounding the issuance of the new tranche of ETC Securities. Investors interested in the Amundi Physical Gold ETC should consider the full details available in the Base Prospectus and the associated Final Terms.
