Investing in natural resources and commodities derived from these finance some of the most fundamental and important functions of the modern economy. Commodities support every aspect of economic activity whether it is to build machines, tools and equipment to manufacture things or provide energy to power homes and businesses or fuel transportation for the movement of goods and people. Things that each one of us uses every day are made using steel, aluminum, gold and silver among many other vital natural resource-derived commodities.
We specialize in investments in precious metals but our team of specialists have long experience of investments in the broader commodities markets including copper, molybdenum, oil and natural gas. Such cross-industry experience is mobilized to screen prospective investment in gold and silver mining and identify the best of breed projects and companies that can succeed and grow to become much larger entities.
Junior Gold’s objective is to provide long-term capital growth from a globally diversified portfolio investing primarily in small to medium capitalization companies specializing in identifying, developing and extracting gold. It may also invest in mining companies extracting other precious metals.
There may be occasions, in light of adverse market conditions, when the Investment Manager chooses to hold high levels of cash, bonds and government securities. The Investment Manager may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes only.
