NEW GOLD PORTFOLIO
Our expert fund managers have created an actively managed portfolio of ten gold holdings that consists of eight producing gold miners and two explorers.
The aim of this portfolio is to pick gold related stocks that we believe are trading at attractive levels relative to the current gold price. In fact, many of the gold stocks in our portfolio would fit the moulds of both value and growth stocks when looking at their fundamentals. This is unprecedented given the current outlook for gold prices; historically when gold prices are strong, gold miners have traded at extremely expensive levels.
Portfolio Features:
- Hand picked gold stocks
- Portfolio made up of 8x gold producers and 2x gold explorers to balance out risk/reward
- Held in your own name and account
- Low management fee of 1%+gst
- Actively managed by expert fund managers
- All changes run by and approved by you

Opportunities in Gold - Special Presentation
The economic world has changed substantially this year, and our advisers believe this has created a uniquely positive situation for gold.
We’ll run through the key factors leading to this view, and what options are at your disposal if you plan to benefit. This session will go through both the theme of gold as an investment, and how we have constructed our portfolio.
Presenters: Michael Cornips and Sam Green
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why Gold?
There is little to write about gold that has not already been said. It is extremely rare, extremely valuable, and unlike national currencies, you do not have constant central bank meddling trying to devalue it.
Gold is also starting to be consumed in large quantities for the first time, through its use in electronics.
Gold is often held as an alternative to currency, to hedge possible movements in that currency. This usually means to hedge against inflation, which is a measure of the drop in the value of a currency. However, historically this presented an opportunity cost, as gold yields no inherent interest payments.
By holding gold instead of currency, you are therefore giving up the potential interest on a deposit of that currency.
Because of this, we say that gold is inversely correlated with ‘real rates’, which is the interest rate less the level of inflation. Rising inflation is positive for gold, falling interest rates are positive for gold.
In this environment, where the value of a dollar is worth less and less, where the trustworthiness of currency issuers is less and less, and where fiat currency systems are pushed to their limits, there is every reason to hold gold and gold assets.
Why should I invest in this portfolio instead of just physical gold?
Gold miners are leveraged into the gold price. This is because their costs are largely independent of the gold price. What this means is that should the gold price rise say 10 percent, the margin of a gold miner should rise by more than 10 percent.
We also believe that gold stocks have underperformed the gold price since gold started rallying in 2014. Only in the past 18-months have gold stocks started to outperform as they chase the gold price. We expect that the recent outperformance of gold stocks will continue as they are still historically cheap when compared to the gold price.
Why should I invest in this portfolio instead of an ETF like GDX?
GDX will give you exposure to simply the largest gold stocks in the world. There is no analysis going into which of those stocks are likely to outperform and which are likely to underperform. You are therefore tracking the gold miners in general.
We believe that we have selected attractive stocks that have the potential to outperform the average large global gold miner. We also use active management in our portfolio, meaning that we have the potential to capitalise on attractive prices, sell underperforming assets, and take actions that could potentially lead to outperformance.
Given that we are invested purely in ASX-listed gold stocks, we also do not have the same multitude of global currency exposures that can potentially impact returns.
Western Australia, where the majority of Australia’s gold occurs, was also named the second most attractive mining area on earth by Canadian think tank the Fraser Institute.
