LONDON - Amundi Physical Metals plc has announced the issuance of a new tranche for its Amundi Physical Gold ETC, adding 300,000 securities to the market on Friday, January 17, 2025. This tranche, numbered 646, will increase the aggregate number of ETC securities immediately following the issue to 54,063,959.00.
The ETC Securities, which are linked to the performance of gold, carry an initial metal entitlement of 0.03968878 fine troy ounces per security as of the subscription trade date. They are part of a program that allows investors to gain exposure to gold prices without the need to take physical delivery of the metal.
The securities will be admitted to trading on several major exchanges, including Euronext (EPA:ENX) Paris, Euronext Amsterdam, Deutsche Börse, Borsa Italiana, and the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG). Additionally, they will be traded on the International Quotation System of the Mexican Stock Exchange. This wide listing is intended to provide investors with broad access to the securities across different markets.
Amundi Physical Metals plc has set the total expense ratio for the ETC Securities at 0.12% per annum, which is deducted from the metal entitlement to cover operational fees. The securities have a scheduled maturity date of May 23, 2118, and are secured by the underlying gold, which is held in allocated accounts by the custodian, HSBC Bank plc.
Investors should note that the value of these securities is directly linked to the fluctuating price of gold, which can be volatile. The issuer has emphasized that investing in the ETC securities provides similar exposure to gold as direct investment, though it is not equivalent.
The recent issuance is part of Amundi's Secured Precious Metal Linked ETC Securities Programme under the regulatory framework of the UK Prospectus Regulation. The ETC Securities offer an alternative to investors seeking exposure to the gold market through a security that trades on regulated stock exchanges.
This news is based on a press release statement and aims to provide investors with key information regarding the new tranche of ETC Securities issued by Amundi Physical Metals plc.
