The Trust's metal will be held in custody by the Royal Canadian Mint, a Federal Crown Corporation of the Government of Canada.

4. Potential Tax Advantage
The Trust offers a potential tax advantage for certain non-corporate U.S. investors. Gains realized on the sale of the Trust’s units can be taxed at a capital gains rate of 15%/20%1 versus the 28% collectibles rate applied to most precious metals ETFs, coins and bars.
