About ETPMPD

ETPMPD offers investors a simple, cost-efficient and secure way to access palladium by providing a return equivalent to the Australian dollar price movement of palladium less a daily management fee.

ETPMPD is backed by physically allocated palladium held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Custodian) in London. Only metal that conforms with the London Platinum and Palladium Association’s (LPPM) rules for Good Delivery is accepted by the custodian. Each physical bar is segregated, individually identified and allocated which means there is no credit risk. Investors can choose to redeem units for the physical holdings.

ETPMPD is an exchange traded commodity ("ETC") that can be created and redeemed on demand (by Authorised Participants). It trades on the stock exchange just like a share and is settled and held in ordinary brokerage accounts.

Why Consider ETPMPD?

• Low-cost access to physical palladium

• Provides exposure to the supply and demand dynamics for palladium in areas such as the automotive industry

• Enables diversification away from traditional asset classes

• ETPMPD units are redeemable directly with the issuer for the underlying bullion
