GOAU: A New Way to Invest in Gold and Precious Metals
Watch this exciting interview at Kitco news for a first-hand introduction to GOAU, a gold and precious metals ETF launching soon. Learn more about this game-changing product here and view the SEC filing details here.
Unlike other gold ETFs, GOAU implements a "quant" strategy to guide its stock selection. Drawing from an array of factors that have proven successful, the new ETF seeks, for instance, to discriminate between companies with good and bad management and to identify companies with superior metrics. This active, discriminating approach not only is attractive for its own sake, but is buttressed by back testing results going back 10 years.
GOAU is also unique in that it incorporates streamers and royalty companies. Through NSRs (Net Smelter Returns) and similar deals, which avoid share dilution and which may even attach to property title, streamers and royalty companies offer an indirect, but arguably much safer way to gain exposure to gold explorers and developers.
Finally, the GOAU picks up a safe slice of world production. Since moves in the price of gold, and ultimate profitability of miners, can vary greatly from country to country as local currencies fluctuate, this ETF benefits from having diverse holdings.
I fully expect the GOAU to become larger than the GDXJ ETF within 5 years and ultimately to surpass even the GDX ETF, becoming second only to GLD ETF in the gold sector.
Anyone looking for exposure to the gold sector need look no further than GOAU. Once it has launched, I plan on putting my own gold sector investment allocations into this incredible product!

Gold and Silver Miner Market Capitalization Estimates
| TSX/TSXv Grouping | TSX/TSXv Total Market Capitalization (Millions of US$) |
|---|---|
| Gold & Silver Producers | $117,575 |
| Gold & Silver Streamers | $13,576 |
| Gold & Silver Developers | $11,570 |
| Gold & Silver Explorers | $8,165 |
| Total TSX/TSXv Gold & Silver Miners | $150,886 |
| Market Cap Estimate For the World's Gold & Silver miners (Millions of US$) |
$545,089 |
Note: All TSX/TSXv companies with at least 12.5% of their total in situ metal value coming from either gold or silver and which match the category definitions, are included in the above table.
Gold & Silver Producers category includes those companies that report quarterly production counts and revenues for gold and/or silver production.
Gold & Silver Streamers category includes companies focused on creating gold/silver streams or royalty income flows.
Gold & Silver Developers category includes companies with an explicit plan to start production in the near term or which have a spending profile and work plans to imply potential future production.
Gold & Silver Explorers category includes companies that are primarily focused on expanding resource counts at one or more existing gold and silver projects without indicating plans for future production.
Generator and grass roots companies are not covered.
Market capitalization is always computed using closing market price (expressed in US$ using exchange rates in effact at market closing time) and the issued share of each company. Updates are made daily after the TSX market close.
TSX/TSXv Market Share Assumptions: the TSX/TSXv gold producers are estimated
to represent approximately 25% of the world's gold producers since the TSX/TSXv gold producers
report approximately 25% of the world's yearly gold production.
The streamers, explorers and developers are estimated to represent very roughly 50% of the world total for companies in those groupings.
NOTE October 24, 2016: Lowered the TSX/TSXv producer gold production estimate to 25% down from 33% - thus the spike in Market Cap Estimate
for the World's Gold & Silver miners.
The Market Cap Estimate For the World's Gold & Silver miners is computed based on the actual TSX/TSXv market capitalizations, computed on a daily basis here using closing market prices and Sedar.com material filings as available at the TSX market closing time, and applying the market share assumptions detailed above.

A ? indicates that the closing data for the ETF is to be released - ETF updates happen typically after 8PM EST. Otherwise the cell is left blank if there was no change from the previous day.
A X indicates the GDX ETF did NOT release the end of day holdings.
POG % Chg is computed based on the Kitco gold spot price bid at TSX market closing time and the price at the previous TSX market close.
For GLD, a positive cell value indicated the value of the gold (in millions of dollars) added to the ETF while a negative cell value indicated the value of gold removed from the ETF. Values are computed from data provided by the GLD ETF operator.
The SGE Prem. (Shanghai Gold Exchange Premium) is computed as the difference between the SGE gold closing price (coverted at exchange rates in effect at the TSX close) and gold spot price as reported by Kitco at the TSX close. SGE Sett. (Shanghai Gold Exchange Settlement Volume) is sum of the Au(T+D) and mAu(T+D) daily settlement volumes as reported by the SGE.
