Fund Description

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Fund’s benchmark index. The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its total assets in companies that are involved in the gold mining industry (the “80% policy”). To be initially eligible for the Junior Gold Miners Index, companies must generate at least 50% of their revenues from gold and/or silver
mining/royalties/streaming or have mining projects with the potential to generate at least 50% of their revenues from gold and/or silver when developed. Such companies may include small- and medium-capitalization companies and foreign issuers. As of December 31, 2023, the Junior Gold Miners Index included 89 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $55.1 million and $7.4 billion and a weighted average market capitalization of $3.2 billion. These amounts are subject to change. The Fund’s 80% policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.
The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Junior Gold Miners Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Junior Gold Miners Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to “beat” the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to “beat” the Junior Gold Miners Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to replicate the Junior Gold Miners Index. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 92.53% of the Junior Gold Miners Index was comprised of securities of gold mining companies.
The Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act of 1940”), and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Junior Gold Miners Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of December 31, 2023, each of the gold mining and silver mining industries represented a significant portion of the Fund.
