About UNWPX
The U.S. Global Investors World Precious Minerals Fund is a mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital growth while offering protection against inflation and monetary instability. Its primary focus is on investing at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of companies actively engaged in the exploration, mining, or processing of precious minerals such as gold, silver, platinum group metals, palladium, and diamonds. Distinctive in its approach, the fund targets junior and intermediate mining companies globally, aiming to capture growth potential within the precious minerals sector. Managed by a team with extensive expertise in geology and mining finance, the fund plays a specialized role in the market by giving exposure to smaller mining firms that may benefit from new mineral discoveries or rising commodity prices. With a history dating back to its inception in 1985, the fund serves investors seeking dedicated exposure to the precious metals and minerals industry as part of a diversified portfolio, and it benchmarks its performance against the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index.
