Gold historically served as a natural store of wealth and a reliable shield against uncertainty. While the US dollar, the world's reserve currency, has lost 96% of its value since 1913, gold has only gained in value thus far. And over the previous 70 years' five major stock market collapses, the price of gold has increased or remained mostly steady. Simply put, gold has shown to be the best defense against inflation and market turbulence. Our Junior Gold Miners ETF offers higher exposure to fresh exploration and increased sensitivity to the gold price.
