This fund looks to maximize long term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of gold mining stocks. Up to 30% of the portfolio can be held in other precious metals producers. It is managed on a “best ideas” basis and as such is benchmark agnostic.
We have recently introduced gold exposure into our portfolios as a potential hedge against any combination of currency devaluation/ debasement, stock market dislocation and the failure of US monetary policy to normalize post the events of 2008.
Hence, the fund has been upgraded from 1 to 3 stars and will feature on our top-rated funds list - our research team’s premier selection.
Historical or current yields quoted should not be considered an indication of future returns. The value of investments, and the income derived from them, can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you originally invested. Due to their nature, specialist funds can be subject to specific sector risks. Investors should ensure they read all relevant information in order to understand the nature of such investments and the specific risks involved. Prevailing tax rates and reliefs are dependent on your individual circumstances and are subject to change.
