Goldman Sachs Physical Gold ETF (AAAU) completes sponsor takeover from Perth Mint
GSAM became the sole sponsor of the Trust, which was renamed from the Perth Mint Physical Gold ETF and continues to trade on NYSE Arca as AAAU under a new CUSIP. Gold custody moved from Gold Corporation to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London branch, and the Western Australian government's guarantee ended, which the filing says is not expected to create any cost for the Trust or shareholders.
