SPDR Gold Trust reported a leadership change at its sponsor, World Gold Trust Services, LLC, effective February 9, 2026. Joseph R. Cavatoni stepped down as Principal Executive Officer to expand his role at the World Gold Council as Senior Market Strategist and Head of Public Policy, Americas.
The sponsor appointed Jonathan D. Spiegel, age 44, as the new Principal Executive Officer on the same date. The trust states that Mr. Cavatoni’s departure does not arise from any disagreement regarding the trust’s operations, policies, or practices, and provides Mr. Spiegel’s prior ETF and asset-management experience.
SPDR Gold Trust reported strong results for the three months ended December 31, 2025, driven by higher gold prices. Net assets rose to $148,228,262 (amounts in 000’s of US$), up from $124,532,860 at September 30, 2025, as gold holdings and values increased.
The Trust recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $15,494,082, or $42.49 per share, compared with a decrease of $604,333 a year earlier. Net asset value per share climbed from $352.09 to $396.12, with a total return at NAV of 12.51% for the period.
Gold held by the Trust rose to 34,465.6 thousand ounces with a fair value of $148,476,199 (amounts in 000’s of US$). The Trust continued to operate as a grantor trust with no debt, no derivatives, no cash balance at period-end, and a single recurring expense: a sponsor fee of 0.40% of daily NAV.
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) files its Annual Report on Form 10-K, outlining how the trust gives investors exposure to physical gold bullion through SPDR Gold Shares. The trust issues and redeems shares only in baskets of 100,000 shares in exchange for gold, with creations and redemptions handled by Authorized Participants via unallocated and allocated accounts in London, New York and Zurich.
Gold is valued using the LBMA Gold Price PM, and net asset value reflects the gold held minus accrued expenses. HSBC and JPMorgan act as custodians, holding London Good Delivery bars and using subcustodians when needed. To cover costs, the trustee periodically sells small amounts of gold; the sponsor’s annual fee is 0.40% of daily NAV and totaled $363,083,124 for the year ended September 30, 2025.
The report also explains gold supply and demand trends, market structure, and U.S. tax treatment, including that the trust is a grantor trust and U.S. holders are treated as owning a pro rata share of the underlying gold for tax purposes.
