The iShares of gold.

iShares Gold Trust (“Trust”) has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC . Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and other documents the Trust has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and any offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting www.iShares.com or EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Trust will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling toll-free 1-800-474-2737.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The Trust is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. Shares of the Trust are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds. Because shares of the Trust are created to reflect the price of the gold held by the Trust, less the Trust’s expenses and liabilities, the market price of the shares will be as unpredictable as the price of gold has historically been. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

For a more complete discussion of the risk factors relative to the Trust, carefully read the prospectus. BlackRock Asset Management International Inc., an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc., is the sponsor of the Trust.
