MINING AGENDA

Americas Mining Agenda - Frank Holmes, 05/07/17

Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer at US Global Investors, rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange to mark last week’s launch of the company’s new gold ETF, the US Global Go Gold and Precious Metals Miners ETF (NYSE Arca: GOAU), a significant fund with 28 current core holdings. Holmes has described the precious metals ETF market as a crowded one, “with some tough competition”. But he maintains GOAU is different, with a “liquid portfolio [with] 28 names focused on the value factors that over time outperform the market”.

On the line this week…
