Global Specialists Travel Worldwide Seeking Investment Opportunities for You

Our specialists personally visit operations worldwide
and constantly assess the development of quality growth opportunities in the mining and natural resources industries. Their professional experience guides them in monitoring the markets and analyzing investments to make money for you.

Unlike some of our competitors, we did not suddenly jump into the natural resource market. In fact, we established the first no-load gold fund in the United States in 1974, and the Global Resources Fund was established more than 20 years ago.

Investing is Easy and Affordable

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to invest. Our low minimum initial investment of $5,000 makes it easy and affordable to build a position in the Global Resources Fund. If you use our ABC Investment Plan,® you can get started with as little as $100 when you make monthly automatic investments of $30 or more. IRAs have no minimum investment requirement. These affordable investment minimums make it easy for you to open an account for yourself, your children or grandchildren.

Your Account Information is Just a Toll-free Phone Call Away

You can call toll free from anywhere in the United States to check your account balance, confirm deposits, verify exchanges and more. This convenient service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 1-800-US-FUNDS (1-800-873-8637).

You Save Money with a No-load Investment

Investing in natural resource stocks on your own can be very expensive. As an institutional investor, the fund can negotiate lower commissions on its portfolio transactions. Because our funds are no load, you never pay loads or sales charges. Please read the prospectus, which includes charges and ongoing expenses, carefully before investing.

A program of regular investing doesn’t assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. You should evaluate your ability to continue in such a program in view of the possibility that you may have to redeem fund shares in periods of declining share prices as well as in periods of rising prices.
