CALCULATION OF NET FX PnL

Net FX PnL (USD)_t = Unrealized FX PnL_t — Unrealized Hedge Cost_t

Section I of this Appendix A-1 sets forth the formula to be used to calculate the “Unrealized FX PnL_t”. Section II of this Appendix A-1 sets forth the formula to be used to calculate the Unrealized Hedge Cost. As used in Appendix A-1, “t” shall mean any day that is not subject to a Gold Price Source Disruption or a WMR 3:00 P.M. Spot Rate Price Source Disruption.

I. Calculation of Unrealized FX PnLt.

In respect of any [Business Day]_t, the Unrealized FX PnL_t shall be a function of the Creation Unit Ratio_{post, t-1}, the Number of Shares as of [Business Day]_t and the FX Overlay PnL based on the Component Currency (or Currencies) reflected in the Index. Such amount shall be determined as follows:

Unrealized FX PnL_t

Number of Shares_t

Creation Unit Ratio_post,t-1

FX Overlay PnL_t

“Number of Shares_t” means, on a given [Business Day]_t, the number of outstanding Shares issued by the Fund prior to giving the affect to any Creation Orders and Redemption Orders accepted by the Fund on such day and including any Creation Orders and Redemption Orders accepted but not yet settled on any preceding [Business Day]_t.

“Gold Delivery Amount” means, in respect of any [Business Day]_t, the Gold Ounces to be either delivered or received, or actually delivered or received, to/from the Fund by the Gold Delivery Provider pursuant to the conversion of the prior [Business Day]_t’s Net FX PnL (USD) Amount into ounces. Such amount is determined pursuant to Appendix A-2 and applied pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement.

“FX Overlay PnL_t” means, on any [Business Day]_t, the gain or loss (i.e., “PnL”) in Dollars on the currency (i.e., FX) position held by the Trust from [Business Day]_t-1 to [Business Day]_t per ounce of Gold. This amount is calculated as follows:

Calculate the mid, bid and ask for each Forward Point as of any WMR Day for currency pairs settling on the next business day (T+1):

¹	The ratio of the Day Count Fractions defined above will adjust for the possible case of an “FX Roll Day” which is not a “WMR Day” (i.e. when an “FX Roll Day” happens in between two consecutive WMR Days)

Where:

“(TN Date_i,t-1,TN Date_i,t)/360” refers to the Day Count Fraction in Actual/360 convention where the numerator is the number of calendar days from but excluding the TN Date for such Currency Pair as of the WMR Day immediately preceding (but different from) WMR Day_t to and including the TN Date for such Currency Pair as of WMR Day_t.
