FACTBOX-Precious metals holdings of exchange-traded funds

LONDON, July 9 (Reuters) - Inflows into precious metals-backed exchange-traded funds
slowed in the second quarter from record levels in the first three months of 2009, as signs
the financial markets were stabilising knocked demand for the metal as a haven from risk.

Holdings of the largest gold-backed ETF, the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) declined slightly in
the second quarter after climbing 44 percent in the first, while inflows into the largest
European products, operated by ETF Securities in London and Zurich Cantonal Bank in
Switzerland, slowed significantly.

ETFs back each security issued with physical stocks of a given commodity, creating a
product they say is free from counterparty risk.

Following is a list of the main ETFs backed with precious metals in Europe and the United
States, and their holdings.
