B 70 FUND DESCRIPTION holds 25 gold and silver mining firms with a high beta against the price of gold. Miners are split into 3 tiers by revenue growth and long-term debt-to-equity, and are market-cap-weighted within these tiers. FACTSET ANALYTICS INSIGHT screens for 25 gold and silver miners with the highest beta against the spot price of gold. Components are ranked by high revenue growth and a low long-term debt/equity ratio, with the bottom 1/3 underweighted and the top 1/3 overweighted relative to market cap. Silver miner exposure is capped at 20%. The fund tilts small, and tends to be more volatile than our neutral benchmark. It trades in sizeable volume each day, and though spreads can be wide enough to warrant caution, large traders working with a market maker should have little trouble getting in and out. It charges a middling fee that's competitive for a niche fund, and it tracks its index well.
