- Canada is the leading investment jurisdiction receiving 55.6% of Gold Equity Fund investment dollars
- Australia receives the second highest portion of investment dollars (13.7% of investments)
- Canadian and Australian listed markets combined represent 69.3% of assets of the 10 largest Gold Equity Funds
Conclusions
- If the pending BRICS currency re-alignment is supported by gold reserves, the most expeditious path to securing gold and silver ounces in the ground will be through Canadian and Australian capital markets and listed companies
- Substantive GDP and high savings countries: Japan, South Korea, India, China, Saudi Arabia and MEA do not have extensive participation in Gold Equity Fund platforms
- Gold Equity Fund platforms provide investors with more ounces (in the ground) per dollar invested than Bullion or ETF holdings. These ounces in the ground take the form of calculated resources and reserves
- Asset preservation strategies are most effective if implemented in advance of adverse market events
