Fund Details
Investment Thesis
SGDJ improves on unfiltered junior miner indexes by requiring revenue growth and share price momentum as screening criteria. This eliminates the weakest exploration-stage companies that have failed to convert resources into revenue, while still capturing the upside leverage that makes junior gold mining compelling. The result is a higher-quality junior miner portfolio with less dead weight.
Who It's For
Investors who want junior gold miner exposure with an active quality filter to reduce the risk of owning non-producing explorers. SGDJ is less speculative than GOEX but more aggressive than GDX, suitable for investors who want meaningful leverage to gold prices with some fundamental quality assurance built into the selection process.
