Guard Against Inflation

Rising demand and tight supply at a time of geopolitical instability is propelling metals prices higher, offering a hedge against inflation. While demand is growing from green technologies and developing economies, mining companies have been discouraged from developing new resources, resulting in short supply.

Main Risk Factors of a Mining ETF

Icon

Investments in natural resources and natural resources companies, which include companies engaged in agriculture, alternatives (e.g., water and alternative energy), base and industrial metals, energy, forest products and precious metals, are very dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural resources and can be significantly affected by events relating to these industries, including international political and economic developments, embargoes, tariffs, inflation, weather and natural disasters, livestock diseases, limits on exploration, often changes in the supply and demand for natural resources and other factors. This is a risk factor to consider when investing in a Mining ETF.

Icon

Investments in emerging market countries are subject to specific risks and securities are generally less liquid and less efficient and securities markets may be less well regulated. Specific risks of a Mining ETF may be heightened by currency fluctuations and exchange control; imposition of restrictions on the repatriation of funds or other assets; governmental interference; higher inflation; social, economic and political uncertainties. 

Icon

The securities of smaller companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large companies. Smaller companies, when compared with larger companies, may have a shorter history of operations, fewer financial resources, less competitive strength, may have a less diversified product line, may be more susceptible to market pressure and may have a smaller market for their securities. This is another risk factor of a Mining ETF.
