Instead the trust sells small amounts of gold on an ongoing basis to cover its annual fee. The gold behind each share therefore declines slowly, year by year by the size of the fee. Over long periods the share price lags the gold price slightly for that reason."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"New shares are created when large market participants deliver gold, and they disappear when those participants redeem shares for gold.
