ETF Trends CEO Tom Lydon discussed the U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (GOAU) on this week’s “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe on the MoneyLife Show.

The US Global Go Gold and Precious Metal Miners ETF (GOAU) truly shines thanks to its actively managed nature. GOAU only holds 28 companies, and the three royalty companies holding 30% have great financial discipline, compared to a lot of the rest of the industry. The focus for GOAU is on the carefully selected 25 other companies out of the additional 100 or so gold producers. Putting that into perspective, when gold goes up, gold mining companies tend to do even better than gold itself.
