In short

AUMI Gold miners with the blends stripped out. AUMI tracks an index of roughly 30 large miners that must earn at least 90% of revenue from gold, and it charges less than the typical fund in its group.

PMTL No data

Stated mandate

AUMI The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, an index of companies active in the gold mining industry. It uses a passive/indexing approach to pursue that objective.

PMTL No data

Why people hold it

AUMI The "pure" in the index name is a rule: members must generate at least 90% of revenue from gold mining, so copper-and-gold conglomerates and diversified diggers stay out.solactive.com themesetfs.com
A 0.35% fee undercuts the peer-group median and the category's household names, VanEck's GDX (0.51%) and iShares' RING (0.39%).
Roughly 30 names, free-float weighted, rebuilt on a set schedule: a concentrated, rules-based way to own the diggers rather than the metal.solactive.com

PMTL No data

Worth knowing

AUMI Thinly traded and small next to the group's giants, so bid-ask spreads can be wider and big orders can push the price.
Concentrated by design and non-diversified: about 30 miners, one commodity, plus mine-level risks like costs, permits and politics.themesetfs.com
Launched in December 2023, so the live track record is short, and cash comes back once or twice a year rather than monthly.
