INIIXInternational Investors Gold Fund - Class I
Market Updates*
- We believe there is a compelling opportunity in the space today with gold reaching all-time highs and companies healthier than they’ve been at any time in the last 10-20 years.
- In our view, financial market risks – including extreme monetary policies, negative real rates and unsustainable debt levels – remain persistent and pervasive and may continue to support higher gold prices for the foreseeable future.
- Notable, too, is the historical performance of mid-tier and junior gold mining companies during similar periods of rising gold prices in the past, where such support levels have helped fuel outperformance of these companies relative to their larger-cap, senior/major mining peers.

The Many Uses of Gold
As far back as 1500 BC, Egyptians and other ancient peoples used gold for currency, and its importance has not waned since. In today’s world, we may not carry gold coins in our pockets, but gold remains one of the most highly valued commodities for cultures across the globe.
Sound Currency
Gold’s historic role as a sound currency alternative is recognized universally — from farmers in India whose high-carat jewelry is a form of savings, to investors in the West who accumulate coins and bars, to central bankers around the globe who hold gold in their foreign exchange reserves.
Powerful Investment Tool
Today, gold is recognized as a potentially powerful tool in an investment portfolio. Gold may:
- Keep pace with inflation and offer a hedge against currency devaluation.
- Generate positive returns in periods of economic stress and political/economic upheaval.
- Provide diversification through a low correlation to the movements of the financial markets.
