Education Centers
Gold Education Center
Gold is one of the oldest assets in existence, from its use as a currency in ancient times to its investment use and utility today.
Silver Education Center
Silver is an attractive store of value that stands to benefit from major technological shifts in the "global energy transition".
Platinum and Palladium Education Center
The supply-demand dynamics for platinum and palladium are intertwined, as these metals are often co-byproducts in the same mining location.
Uranium Education Center
Nuclear power is the largest source of clean energy in the U.S. and is created through "fission", which involves the splitting of uranium atoms.
Copper Education Center
Copper plays a pivotal role in the shift toward clean, carbon-free energy. Both power grids and electric vehicles heavily depend on copper for efficient electricity transmission.
Critical Materials Education Center
Provides pure-play access to a range of critical minerals necessary for the global clean energy transition.
Investment Risks and Important Disclosure
Relative to other sectors, precious metals and natural resources investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage and liquidity should also be considered.
Gold and precious metals are referred to with terms of art like "store of value," "safe haven" and "safe asset." These terms should not be construed to guarantee any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds and cash generally do not carry a high risk of loss relative to other asset classes, any asset may lose value, which may involve the complete loss of invested principal.
