On this page of Benford's Law Stocks.com we present our study of abrdn Gold ETF Trust — ticker symbol SGOL. SEC filings have been screened by our Benford's Law software, for quarterly 10Q and annual 10K filings from 5/9/2024 to 3/2/2026
for abrdn Gold ETF Trust under CIK number 0001450923.
For filings made in XBRL (eXtensible
Business Reporting Language) format, our algorithm extracts all "tagged" numbers presented by the company; for any non-XBRL
filings our algorithm uses its own interal set of rules to extract what it believes to be numbers as found throughout the filings. The format
found for each filing is presented below together with the results for SGOL, with the percentage of found numbers beginning with each digit
(1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's) charted against the "normal" range observed throughout our coverage universe, as
well as the "normal" range for abrdn Gold ETF Trust based on the past SGOL filings our system processed in the past.

While the above SGOL 10K Filed 3/2/2026 is interesting in isolation, we have found that it is also useful to take a look at older
abrdn Gold ETF Trust filings processed by our Benford's Law Stocks algorithm, to see how the company's filings "typically look" on a
Benford's Law analysis. Below we repeat the 10K Filed 3/2/2026 but instead of the chart comparing against the typical company across
our coverage universe, below we show the same chart compared against the typical SGOL 10Q and 10K filings that we have processed
historically. This is followed by similar charts for each of those historical filings.
