The Stage Is Set
We believe gold mining equities are poised for growth, as they remain undervalued despite rising gold prices. Western investors have largely ignored gold, but any shift has the potential to push gold prices higher, which will likely benefit miners. In our view, the current market displays the signs of an early-stage bull market.

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.
