Gold Rush: Tiered Miners
Holds: NEM, B, AEM + 8 more
A long-only strategy built entirely around gold mining stocks, organized into three tiers based on company size and risk profile. The biggest, most established miners form the foundation — names like Newmont and Barrick — and they stay in the portfolio through most market conditions because of their financial strength. Mid-tier royalty and streaming companies form the middle layer, offering a balance of growth and stability. The smallest, highest-growth miners sit in the third tier and are the first to be trimmed when the gold sector shows signs of weakening. Captures the gold bull market through the miners and royalty companies that offer leveraged upside to metal prices. With gold above $5,000/oz and central banks still accumulating, mining margins are at record highs — but equity valuations haven't caught up. This strategy layers senior producers for stability, mid-tier growth miners for expansion optionality, and royalty companies for capital-light compounding.

For illustration only. This applies the strategy's backtested (simulated) return over the stated 5-year backtest period to your amount — it is not a forecast or a projection of future results. Backtested results have inherent limitations, do not reflect actual trading or the deduction of subscription and trading costs, and no representation is made that any account will achieve similar results. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of your entire investment.

Risk Disclosure: Trading in financial instruments and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment, and may not be suitable for all investors. Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and can be affected by external factors such as financial, regulatory, or political events. Trading on margin or with leverage increases potential losses. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Results: Backtest and simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual trading, simulated results do not represent real executions and may not account for factors such as market liquidity, slippage, or execution timing. Simulated strategies are often designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that any account will achieve results similar to those shown.
