A GROWING NUMBER OF INVESTORS ARE RECOGNIZING            that over the long term gold fulfills a strategic role within an investment portfolio. In November 2004, State Street and World Gold Trust Services launched SPDR Gold Shares [NYSE Area: GLD], the first U.S. commodities-based exchange-traded security that has resulted in broader investor access and understanding of the gold market. GLD offers investors an innovative, cost-efficient and secure means of participating in the gold bullion market without the necessity of taking physical delivery. This is achieved by allowing investors to hold an interest in gold just like a stock. The introduction of GLD has lowered many of the barriers that had previously prevented some investors from investing in gold, such as access, custody and transaction costs. In 2009 SPDR Gold Shares surpassed $40 billion, making it the second-largest ETF in the world, by assets.
