Overview |
|
The investment seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the AMEX Gold Miners index. The fund generally normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks and American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) of companies involved in the gold mining industry. The fund is nondiversified. |
