How often is the trust audited, and do the auditors have access to the vault to physically count the gold?
Agreements among the Trustee, BNY Mellon Asset Servicing and the Custodian, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. allow for the Trustees to visit and inspect the Trust’s holdings of gold held by the custodian twice a year. In addition, The Trust’s independent auditors may audit the Gold holdings in the vault as part of their audit of the Financial Statements of the Trust.
