Gold Miners ETF
GOEX provides investors access to a broad range of companies involved in the exploration of gold deposits, offering exposure to firms engaged in the discovery and development of new gold resources that may benefit from rising gold demand.
COPX provides investors access to a range of companies involved in the copper mining industry, including those engaged in exploration, extraction, processing, and refining of copper.
SIL provides investors access to a broad range of companies involved in the silver mining industry, including those engaged in exploration, extraction, processing, and refining of silver.
AUAU can complement commodity allocations by adding targeted exposure to gold and silver mining companies, whose earnings tend to amplify moves in gold prices relative to the metal itself. Gold has long served as a store of value during periods of economic slowdown, geopolitical uncertainty, and rising inflation, providing a defensive anchor for portfolios.
As the outlook for gold evolves alongside shifting interest rate and currency dynamics, AUAU offers a transparent way to access the gold mining industry.
AUAU tracks the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, providing investors with targeted gold mining exposure at a category-low 0.35% expense ratio.1
Historically, investors have turned to gold as a store of value, particularly during periods of economic slowdown, geopolitical uncertainty, or concerns over inflation and currency weakness.
Gold miners stand to benefit as gold prices rise, with profits driven not only by higher prices but also by increased production and improved efficiency.

The Premium/Discount chart demonstrates the difference between the daily market price of shares of the Fund and the Fund's net asset value (NAV). The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount of the daily market price as a percentage of the NAV. The horizontal axis shows each trading day in the time period, and each data point in the chart represents the Premium/Discount on that day. The data presented in the chart and table above represent past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
The primary explanation is that timing discrepancies can arise between the NAV and the trading price of the Fund. Since shares of the Fund trade on the open market, prices are affected by the constant flow of information received by investors, corporations and financial institutions. Depending on how this changing information affects investor sentiment, shares of the Fund may deviate slightly from the value of the Fund's underlying assets. The NAV of the Fund is only calculated once a day (normally at 4:00 p.m. eastern time). As a result, shareholders may pay more than NAV when they buy Fund shares and receive less than NAV when they sell those shares, because shares are purchased and sold at current market prices. However, due to the creation and redemption process that is unique to ETFs, market makers are able to minimize these deviations from NAV by taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities.
Close of Trading Times. Although both the NAV and the daily market price of the Fund are generally calculated based on prices at the closing time of the exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time), slight differences in this timing may cause discrepancies.
Time of Last Trade. Trading of Global X funds generally takes place during normal trading hours (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. eastern time). However, it is important to note that the last trade - from which the closing price is determined - may not occur at exactly 4:00 p.m. eastern time. Therefore, changing market sentiment during the time difference may cause the NAV to deviate from the closing price.
International Holdings. The premiums and discounts for funds with significant holdings in international markets may be less accurate due to the different closing times of various international markets. Because the Funds trade during U.S. market hours while the underlying securities may not, the time lapse between the markets can result in differences between the NAV and the trading price.
