Fund Objective

The World Precious Minerals Fund seeks long-term growth of capital while providing protection against inflation and monetary instability.

Fund Strategy

Under normal market conditions, the World Precious Minerals Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities, rights and warrants, and depository receipts of companies principally engaged in the exploration for, or mining and processing of, precious minerals such as gold, silver, platinum group, palladium and diamonds. The fund focuses on selecting junior and intermediate exploration companies from around the world.

The fund’s benchmark is the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index.
