C 44 FUND DESCRIPTION tracks an index of US- and Canada-listed small-cap gold and silver miner stocks. The index selects firms by market cap and weights them by revenue growth and relative price momentum. FACTSET ANALYTICS INSIGHT brings alternative weighting to the junior gold miner ETFs space. While competing funds with a focus on junior miners (GDXJ and GLDX) weight their companies by market cap, explicitly favors firms with revenue growth and price momentum. These fundamental and technical trends might hold appeal in a sector that s seen brutally negative returns in recent years. Still, has struggled to attract workable liquidity and a viable asset base in this space. Its expense ratio is reasonable in context. In all, the fund doesn t attempt to provide broad coverage to giants like Barrick and Goldcorp, but does it offer unique exposure to junior miners. Trade with care.
