ASA: Gold Miners Are Just Getting Warmed Up
ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited has delivered stellar capital appreciation, outperforming peers and the S&P 500, despite minimal media attention and a low yield. Gold miners remain undervalued relative to gold prices, with strong central bank demand and robust cash flow growth supporting further upside potential. The ASA closed-end fund trades at an attractive 11% discount to NAV, offers pure-play exposure to gold miners without option strategies, and is well-positioned for continued sector strength.

ASA: The Bullish Trends For Gold Continue, Profit From Them
ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited offers strong gold exposure, outperforming the S&P 500 and peers over the past decade through capital appreciation, not yield. The fund focuses on small- and mid-cap gold miners, which historically outperform larger peers during gold bull markets, enhancing upside potential. Gold is likely to continue to perform well as Middle East hostilities stoke uncertainty, and U.S. deficits threaten the U.S. dollar's dominant role in the financial system.
