GOEX


Gold Explorers ETF

Reasons to Consider GOEX

Differentiated Exposure

Demand for gold is heavily influenced by central bank purchases and the jewelry market, making it a more purely precious metal than other metals, such as silver, which are frequently used in industrial applications.

Appeal of Gold

Historically, investors have turned to gold as a potential store of value – particularly during periods of volatility and/or geopolitical unrest.

ETF Efficiency

In a single trade, GOEX delivers efficient access to a basket of companies involved in the exploration of gold.

The Fund's investment objective and investment strategies changed effective December 1, 2016 and again on May 1, 2017. Hybrid index performance (noted as "Index" above in the chart) reflects the performance of the Solactive Global Gold Explorers Total Return Index through November 30, 2016, the Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Transition Index through April 30, 2017, and the Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Index thereafter.

Performance is shown on a total return basis (i.e., with gross income reinvested, where applicable). Cumulative return is the aggregate amount that an investment has gained or lost over time. Annualized return is the average return gained or lost by an investment each year over a given time period.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. High short-term performance, when observed, is unusual and investors should not expect such performance to be repeated.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Narrowly focused investments may be subject to higher volatility. There are additional risks associated with investing in Gold and the Gold exploration industry.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning October 15, 2020, market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn’t available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (“NBBO”) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share. Prior to October 15, 2020, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the Bid and Ask price. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees, expenses or sales charges. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s summary or full prospectuses. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
