About USERX

The U.S. Global Investors Gold and Precious Metals Fund is a specialized mutual fund designed to provide investors with exposure to companies primarily engaged in the mining, processing, and distribution of precious metals, with a strong emphasis on gold. As the first no-load gold fund in the United States, it focuses on established producers—often referred to as 'seniors'—which are companies that operate large-scale mining operations and generate significant revenue from extracted gold and related metals such as silver, platinum, palladium, and occasionally diamonds. Managed by experts with backgrounds in geology and mining finance, the fund aims for long-term capital appreciation while offering a hedge against inflation and monetary instability. Its investment strategy centers on selecting firms with proven producing mines, balancing growth potential with industry stability. This fund plays a distinctive role in broader portfolios, helping to diversify risk and provide tangible asset exposure during periods of financial uncertainty.
