About EPGFX
EuroPac Gold Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on the equity precious metals sector, with a primary goal of achieving long-term capital appreciation. The fund distinguishes itself by investing at least 80% of its net assets in companies that are engaged in gold mining, processing, and related activities, primarily in Europe and the Pacific Rim. Its portfolio includes a diversified mix of large-, mid-, small-, and micro-cap companies considered attractively valued by the fund's advisor. The fund emphasizes firms that derive a significant portion of their revenue or profit from gold-related activities, though it also holds positions in companies involved in other precious metals such as silver and platinum.
The EuroPac Gold Fund typically holds a concentrated portfolio, with its top ten holdings accounting for over half of total assets, and invests almost entirely in equities, with negligible cash or other allocations. The fund's holdings are weighted toward companies in the basic materials sector, encompassing both mining operators and royalty/streaming firms. It is structured as a front-load share class and carries an expense ratio above the industry average for its category. The fund plays a specialized role in the market by offering targeted exposure to the gold and precious metals industry, appealing to investors seeking diversification and potential returns linked to the performance of the global gold sector.
