Why Invest in Gold Mutual Funds?

1. Mutual funds offer a diversified portfolio of gold companies.
2. Gold mining companies, with growing reserves, production and cash flow, offer capital appreciation potential.
3. Demand for gold is rising, particularly in global emerging markets, while the supply of gold itself is limited.
4. Gold stocks can be a hedge against inflation over the long term.

Demand for Gold is Greater than Mined Supply.

U.S. Global Investors offers two no-load mutual funds that invest in the gold and precious minerals markets.

Gold and Precious Metals Fund

U.S. Global Investors Gold and Precious Metals Fund invests in equity securities of companies predominantly involved in the mining, fabrication, processing, marketing or distribution of metals including gold, silver, platinum group, palladium and diamonds. The fund invests in gold mining companies that exploit gold deposits that are supported by by-products and co-products of gold, as well as diversified companies which produce a meaningful amount of gold. The fund focuses on selecting companies with established producing mines.

World Precious Minerals Fund

U.S. Global Investors World Precious Minerals Fund invests in precious minerals stocks from across the globe. The fund seeks companies which have the greatest potential for creating wealth for their stockholders by discovering new deposits, developing promising properties and/or profitably mining gold. The funds portfolio includes all tiers of mining companies, including exploration companies.

The investment goal of both the Gold and Precious Metals Fund and the World Precious Minerals Fund is long-term growth of capital and protection against inflation and monetary instability. These funds are for investors who are willing to accept significant volatility due to the substantial price fluctuations gold has demonstrated over short periods of time. When the metal does move, gold stocks move farther and faster. This volatility is reflected in the fluctuating share prices of our gold funds.

Gold funds may be susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory developments due to concentrating in a single theme. The price of gold is subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time and may be affected by unpredicted international monetary and political policies. We suggest investing no more than 5% to 10% of your portfolio in gold or gold stocks. Diversification does not protect an investor from market risks and does not assure a profit. 08-164
