RBS Gold Trendpilot ETN

The RBS Gold TrendpilotTM ETNs are designed for investors who seek exposure to the RBS Gold TrendpilotTM Index (USD) (the “Index”). The Index utilizes a systematic trend-following strategy to provide exposure to either the Price of Gold Bullion (as defined below) or the yield on a hypothetical notional investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury bills (the “Cash Rate”), depending on the relative performance of the Price of Gold Bullion on a simple historical moving average basis. If the Price of Gold Bullion is at or above its historical 200-Index business day simple moving average for five consecutive Index business days (i.e., a “positive trend” is established), the Index will track the return on the Price of Gold Bullion, and will have no exposure to the Cash Rate until a negative trend occurs. Conversely, if the Price of Gold Bullion is below such average for five consecutive index business days (i.e., a “negative trend” is established), then the Index will track the Cash Rate instead of the return on the Price of Gold Bullion and will have no exposure to the Price of Gold Bullion until the next positive trend.

The “Price of Gold Bullion” on any given day means the spot price of physical gold, as measured by the afternoon gold fixing price (also known as the London Gold P.M. Fixing Price) per troy ounce of gold for delivery in London through a member of the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) authorized to effect such delivery, stated in U.S. dollars, as calculated by the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. and published by the LBMA, on such day. The Price of Gold Bullion is also published on Bloomberg page “GOLDLNPM Index."

For the purposes of the Product Facts below, the Price of Gold Bullion is also referred to as the "Benchmark Index".
