WisdomTree’s Tokyo-listed gold ETF was carrying ¥1.07tn in assets as of June 25 at 00:00 JST, according to the manager’s daily disclosure. The filing shows 17,756,997 units outstanding, a per-unit asset value of ¥60,417, and a reported 0.00% deviation between that asset value and the equivalent gold exposure referenced to the London Bullion Market Association afternoon price.

Platinum ETF16743,377,098¥79.0bn
Palladium ETF16751,397,063¥24.3bn

Among the individual metal funds whose asset totals are visible in the disclosure, gold was the clear heavyweight. Silver stood at ¥434.2bn with 48,657,815 units outstanding, platinum at ¥79.0bn with 3,377,098 units, and palladium at ¥24.3bn with 1,397,063 units.

For readers outside Japan, the interesting part is the market plumbing. These are Tokyo-listed vehicles, but the disclosed yen asset values were calculated at midnight in Japan, equivalent to 4pm in London on June 24, using a WM/Reuters closing spot rate of ¥161.8 to the dollar. That means the reported yen totals are anchored to London metal pricing and the dollar-yen rate at the valuation point, not to a separate domestic reference price.

On the benchmark check disclosed in the filing, gold, silver and platinum each showed 0.00% deviation between per-unit asset value and the referenced amount of metal. The source text cites an LBMA gold afternoon price of $4,024.45, an LBMA silver price of $60.6 and a London platinum market afternoon price of $1,589 for the June 24 London valuation point.

The main caveat is completeness, not the snapshot itself. The disclosure header lists five WisdomTree precious-metals ETFs in Tokyo, including a basket product, but the detailed daily figures for that basket fund are not visible in the available text, and the palladium section cuts off after total assets. So the filing is useful as a same-day valuation check, especially for the ¥1tn-plus gold product, but not as a full scorecard for the whole lineup.
