STREETTRACKS(R) GOLD SHARES                       30 SEPTEMBER 2006

FUND OBJECTIVE

Gold Shares are exchange-traded securities (NYSE Ticker: GLD) that give the
holder an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a trust, the primary asset
of which is allocated (or secured) gold. Shares are designed to track the price
of gold (net of Trust expenses) and trade like a continuously offered security,
allowing authorized participants such as broker-dealers, banks and other
financial institutions to create and redeem shares (in baskets of 100,000
shares) according to market demand.

ABOUT GOLD BULLION

Gold is accepted the world over and may be an effective wealth preservation
tool. Most importantly, due to its low-to-negative correlations with all
traditional asset classes as well as with major economic variables, gold is a
proven asset diversifier. When used in the construction of diversified
portfolios, gold potentially helps reduce overall risk and may ultimately help
protect investor wealth.

This material must be delivered with a prospectus. The prospectus contains
material information about the Trust and its Shares which is material and/or
which may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus, including
"Risk Factors" and the information incorporated by references therein, before
making an investment decision about the Shares.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document/materials includes "forward-looking statements" which generally
relate to future events or future performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should,"
"expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or
the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All statements
(other than statements of historical fact) included in this prospectus that
address activities, events or developments that will or may occur in the future,
including such matters as changes in commodity prices and market conditions (for
gold and the Shares), the Trust's operations, the Sponsor's plans and references
to the Trust's future success and other similar matters are forward-looking
statements. Investors are cautioned that these statements are only projections.
Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements are based upon
certain assumptions and analyses the Sponsor made based on its perception of
historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well
as other factors believed appropriate in the circumstances. Whether or not
actual results and developments will conform to the Sponsor's expectations and
predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to fluctuations in the price of gold; reductions in
the amount of gold represented by each Share due to the payment of Trust
expenses and the impact of the termination of the fee reduction under the Trust
Indenture; purchasing activity in the gold market associated with the purchase
of Baskets from the Trust; the lack of experience of the Sponsor and its
management in operating an investment vehicle such as the Trust; unanticipated
operational or trading problems; the lack of protections associated with
ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 or the protections afforded by the Commodity Exchange Act of
1936; the lack of a market for the Shares; competition from other methods of
investing in gold; the impact of large-scale distress sales of gold in times of
crisis; the impact of substantial sales of gold by the official sector; the
effect of a widening of interest rate differentials between the cost of money
and the cost of gold; the loss, damage, theft or restrictions on access to the
Trust's gold; the lack of adequate sources of recovery if the Trust's gold is
lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed, including a lack of insurance; the failure
of gold bullion allocated to the Trust to meet the London Good Delivery
Standards; the failure of subcustodians to exercise due care in the safekeeping
of the Trust's gold; the limited ability of the Trustee and the Custodian to
take legal action against sub-custodians; the insolvency of the Custodian; the
Trust's obligation to reimburse the underwriting of the Trust's IPO and the
Marketing Agent for certain liabilities in the event the Sponsor fails to
indemnify them; competing claims over ownership of intellectual property rights
related to the Trust; and other factors identified in the "Risk Factors" section
of the Prospectus filed with the SEC and in other filings made by the Trust from
time to time with the SEC. Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made
in this material are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be
no assurance that the actual results or developments the Sponsor or Marketing
Agent anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they
will result in the expected consequences to, or have the expected effects on,
the Trust's operations or the value of the Shares. Neither the Sponsor,
Marketing Agent nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of the forward-looking statements. Neither the Trust, Marketing
Agent nor the Sponsor is under a duty to update any of the forward-looking
statements to conform such statements to actual results or to reflect a change
in the Sponsor's or Marketing Agent's expectation or projections.

The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the gold held by the
Trust (less Trust expenses) and fluctuations in the price of gold could
materially adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

Investors should be aware that there is no assurance that gold will maintain its
long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. In the event that
the price of gold declines, the Sponsor expects the value of an investment in
the Shares to similarly decline.

Shareholders will not have the protections associated with ownership of shares
in an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or
the protections afforded by the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936. The Trust is not
registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
is not required to register under such act. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee
is subject to regulation by the CFTC. Shareholders will not have the regulatory
protections provided to investors in CEA-regulated instruments or commodity
pools.
