About UIPMX
Victory Precious Metals and Minerals Fund Institutional Class is an open-end mutual fund specializing in equity investments within the precious metals and minerals sector. Its primary objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation and offer investors a measure of inflation protection by focusing on companies engaged in the exploration, mining, or processing of gold, platinum, silver, diamonds, and other precious minerals. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in both domestic and international firms, including those in emerging markets, providing strong exposure to the global mining industry. Managed by Victory Capital Solutions, the fund maintains a concentrated portfolio, holding around 30–33 stocks, with a notable portion allocated to its top 10 holdings. Designed as a sector and alternative strategies fund, it seeks to reduce portfolio volatility and may act as a hedge during inflationary periods. The fund appeals primarily to institutional investors due to its high minimum investment threshold and serves as a specialized tool for diversifying portfolios with a focus on real asset producers in the metals and mining sector.
