Important Risks

The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the precious metal held by the Trusts and fluctuations in the price could materially adversely affect an investment in the Shares. Several factors may affect the price of precious metals, including:

  • A change in economic conditions, such as a recession, can adversely affect the price of the precious metal held by the Trusts. Some metals are used in a wide range of industrial applications, and an economic downturn could have a negative impact on its demand and, consequently, its price and the price of the Shares;
  • Investors' expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;
  • Currency exchange rates;
  • Interest rates;
  • Investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds; and
  • Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. Should there be an increase in the level of hedge activity of the precious metal held by the Trusts or producing companies, it could cause a decline in world precious metal prices, adversely affecting the price of the Shares.

    Also, should the speculative community take a negative view towards the precious metal held by the Trusts, it could cause a decline in prices, negatively impacting the price of the Shares.

    There is a risk that part or all of the Trusts' physical precious metal could be lost, damaged or stolen. Failure by the Custodian or Sub-Custodian to exercise due care in the safekeeping of the precious metal held by the Trusts could result in a loss to the Trusts. Since there is no limit on the amount of platinum and palladium that the Trust may acquire, the Trust, as it grows, may have an impact on the supply and demand of platinum and palladium.

    The Trusts have limited operating history.

    Commodities generally are volatile and are not suitable for all investors. Trusts focusing on a single commodity generally experience greater volatility.

    Please refer to the prospectus for complete information regarding all risks associated with the Trusts.

    Shares in the Trusts are not FDIC insured and may lose value and have no bank guarantee.

    Investors buy and sell shares on a secondary market (i.e., not directly from Trusts). Only market makers or "authorized participants" may trade directly with the Trusts, typically in blocks of 50k to 100k shares.

    Carefully consider each Trusts' investment objectives, risk factors, and fees and expenses before investing.

    An investment in the trust does not constitute a direct investment in the underlying metal.

    ALPS Distributors, Inc. is the marketing agent for ETFS Silver Trust, ETFS Gold Trust, ETFS Platinum Trust and ETFS Palladium Trust.

    For further discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Trusts please read the prospectus.
