Latest Premium Discount
Data for the current quarter
Historical Premium/Discount Line Chart
Chart Description
The amount the Fund is trading above or below the reported NAV expressed as a percentage of the NAV. When the fund's market price is greater than the fund's NAV, it is said to be trading at a "Premium" and the percentage is expressed as a positive number. When the fund's market price is less than the fund's NAV, it is said to be trading at a "Discount" and the percentage is expressed as a negative number.
Premium/Discount Frequency
Chart Description
The above chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund’s net asset value (or NAV). The market price is the last price as published by the exchange on which the Fund is listed. It is generally the average of the bid-ask prices at 4:00 PM ET. The NAV is calculated by reference to the Benchmark which is generally determined at 3:00 PM London Time. The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed as a percentage of the NAV. The horizontal axis indicates the number of days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.
Possible time Discrepancies
The NAV is calculated reference to the gold Benchmark which is generally determined at 3:00 PM London Time, while the market price is determined around 4pm ET. Therefore, during the second part of the U.S. trading day the NAV is frozen, yet the market price continues to fluctuate to reflect new information. As a result, the traditional measure of premium/discount (Market price/NAV) may be more reflective of different market hours than true trading premium/discounts
