WisdomTree’s gold ETF listed in Japan was carrying ¥1.10tn in assets at the June 24 valuation point, and the issuer’s daily disclosure said the fund’s per-unit asset value showed a 0.00% deviation from the value of the gold it held, using June 23 London pricing. The same filing showed the silver fund at ¥445.5bn and the platinum fund at ¥81.7bn, with each also reporting a 0.00% deviation.

For investors, this is mostly plumbing, not plot. These listed products are meant to turn precious-metals exposure into an exchange-traded security, so the daily deviation figure is a check on whether the disclosed per-unit asset value lines up with the reference metal calculation the issuer cites. On this reading, the published metric came in at 0.00% for gold, silver and platinum.

The gold fund, code 1672, was the largest of the three fully readable sections in the provided source. WisdomTree reported 17,778,997 units outstanding and a per-unit asset value of ¥61,992, based on an LBMA afternoon gold price of $4,135.5 and a WM/Reuters spot rate of ¥161.56 per dollar. Silver, code 1673, had 48,713,815 units outstanding and a per-unit asset value of ¥9,145, using an LBMA silver fixing of $62.19. Platinum, code 1674, had 3,377,098 units outstanding and a per-unit asset value of ¥24,204, using a $1,646 London afternoon reference price for platinum.

The filing covers five WisdomTree metals ETFs listed in Japan, including palladium and a precious-metals basket, and it timestamps the data at midnight Tokyo time on June 24, equivalent to 4pm in London on June 23. For readers outside Japan, that cross-border setup is the useful detail: the investor buys a local listing, but the daily valuation still runs through London metal benchmarks and dollar-yen conversion. One caveat, the source excerpt provided here cuts off before the palladium and basket sections are fully readable, so the cleanest supported read is limited to the gold, silver and platinum funds.
