    Frequently asked questions

    Gold miners ETFs such as GDX offer a different type of exposure to gold compared with investing in bullion or a physical gold ETF. Gold miners ETFs invest in gold mining companies. The fortunes of gold miners are inextricably linked to the price of gold and, historically, gold mining stocks tend to outperform bullion when the gold price rises and underperform when it falls. This is why gold miners are considered a leveraged play on the gold price.

    Other differing factors are:

    • Miners may distribute dividends to their investors.
    • The stock price will be influenced by company management and operational execution as well as geopolitical and regulatory risks related to the location of the mines.

    Learn more about investing in gold and gold ETFs.

    A gold miners ETF, GDX provides a range of potential benefits for investors:

    • Exposure to the price of gold with the convenience of an ETF.
    • Gold miners tend to outperform gold bullion when the price rises, and vice versa.
    • Miners generally pay dividends to investors.
    • GDX provides a diversified exposure across a broad range of global gold mining companies.
    • Potential inflation hedge - the gold mining sector has tended to perform well during periods of rising inflation.
    • Potential defence - gold miners have historically benefited during periods of extreme market volatility.

    Read more about GDX’s suitability in portfolios in the Target Market Determination.

    We believe GDX is the superior gold miners ETF on ASX.

    GDX has a 10-year track record in Australia and was the first gold miners ETF listed on ASX. GDX tracks the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index which offers a “pure play” exposure to gold mining companies as it requires constituents to earn >50% of revenue from gold mining. Conversely, other gold miners ETFs on ASX do not track a pure play index and may include companies in which the core business is not gold mining.

    GDX is the most cost-effective option on ASX with a low management fee of 0.53%.

    Gold miners ETFs like GDX are generally best suited for investors seeking capital growth. While gold mining companies can pay dividends to their investors, gold miners ETFs like GDX are not considered appropriate for investors whose investment objective is income.

    GDX may also provide some portfolio risk management. The gold mining sector has historically benefited during periods of extreme volatility in financial markets and has been used to provide a hedge to inflation. Learn more about investing in gold and gold miners ETFs.

    Read more about GDX’s suitability in portfolios in the Target Market Determination.

    GDX may be suitable for investors who want a targeted exposure to the gold mining sector and are:

    • Seeking capital growth;
    • Intending to use the gold miners ETF as a minor or satellite allocation within a portfolio;
    • Looking to invest in the gold miners ETF for at least 5 years; and
    • Have a very high risk/return profile.

    Read more about the type of investor likely to be appropriate for GDX in GDX’s Target Market Determination.
