LONDON - Amundi Physical Metals plc has announced the issuance of a new tranche of ETC Securities under its Amundi Physical Gold ETC, marking the 631st tranche. This addition will increase the aggregate number of ETC Securities to 50,687,155.00, with the new tranche consisting of 765,000.00 securities.
The ETC Securities, linked to the price of physical gold, provide investors with exposure to the metal without the need to physically hold it. Each security in the tranche, issued on Friday, December 13, 2024, represents a metal entitlement of 0.03969335 fine troy ounces of gold, with an initial metal entitlement at the series issue date of 0.04 fine troy ounces.
Amundi Physical Metals plc, which operates under a base prospectus approved on May 3, 2024, has a scheduled maturity date for the securities of May 23, 2118. The issuer's total expense ratio stands at 0.12% per annum, a fee that contributes to covering operational costs.
The ETC Securities are secured by gold held by HSBC (LON:HSBA) Bank plc as Custodian, usually on an allocated basis, ensuring each security is backed by a specific amount of gold in a segregated account. The issuer has also made provisions for redemptions, with each security having a nominal amount of USD 5.085 and a specified interest amount of USD 0.051.
Applications for the ETC Securities have been made for admission to trading on several regulated markets, including Euronext (EPA:ENX) Paris, Euronext Amsterdam, the Deutsche Börse, the Borsa Italiana, and the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG). Additionally, they are expected to be admitted to trading on the International Quotation System of the Mexican Stock Exchange.
Investors interested in gaining exposure to gold prices may consider the Amundi Physical Gold ETC as an alternative to direct investment in physical gold. This issuance is part of Amundi's ongoing efforts to offer investment solutions that provide exposure to precious metals.
