Significant Accounting Policies	2. Significant Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires those responsible for preparing financial statements to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by GLDM and the Trust. 2.1. Basis of Accounting For accounting purposes, GLDM is an investment company within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, not 1940, These financial statements present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Trust combined with its operating series and GLDM separately.

Fair Value Measurement U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GLDM’s policy is to value its investments at fair value. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of GLDM’s assets or liabilities. Inputs may may three three Level 1 Level 2 1 not Level 3 The following table summarizes GLDM’s investment at fair value: (Amounts in 000 s of US$) December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Investment in Gold $ 5,158,100 $ - $ - Total $ 5,158,100 - - (Amounts in 000 s of US$) September 30, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Investment in Gold $ 4,692,387 $ - $ - Total $ 4,692,387 $ - $ - There were no transfers between Level 1 three December 31, 2022 September 30, 2022 The Administrator values the gold held by GLDM on the basis of the price of an ounce of gold as determined by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (the “IBA”), a benchmark administrator, which provides an independently administered auction process, as well as the overall administration and governance for the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”).
