Gold Explorers ETF
AUAU provides investors access to a broad range of companies involved in the gold mining industry and includes capped silver exposure, offering potential benefits from the operational leverage of production growth and efficiency gains.

GOEX can complement commodity allocations by providing targeted exposure to gold exploration and development companies rather than established producers. Where broad gold equity benchmarks are dominated by large, mature miners, GOEX offers access to early-stage firms positioned to benefit from the discovery and advancement of new gold deposits.
As investors turn to gold as a potential store of value during periods of volatility and geopolitical unrest, GOEX stands as a forward-looking vehicle to access the upstream gold ecosystem at its earliest, most consequential stage.
Gold exploration firms are involved in identifying and developing new gold deposits, which can potentially lead to new mining opportunities.
Historically, investors have turned to gold as a potential store of value – particularly during periods of volatility and/or geopolitical unrest.
In a single trade, GOEX delivers efficient access to a basket of companies involved in the exploration of gold.

What is Premium/Discount Chart?
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.
How can the Fund trade at a premium/discount to its NAV?
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.
What causes these time discrepancies?
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.
