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 World Precious Minerals or Gold Shares Funds. 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 Money is Invested with a Longstanding Leader.
Unlike some of our competitors, we did not suddenly jump into the gold market. In fact, we established the first no-load gold fund in the United States in 1974.
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).
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.
