Global X Gold Explorers ETF NEW

GOEX

Market cap $122M

Global X Gold Explorers ETF has outperformed VanEck Gold Miners ETF and VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF in 2025, rising 169% year-to-date amid a strong gold bull market. GOEX offers high momentum but carries elevated risk, lower dividend, and higher expense ratios compared to GDX and GDXJ. Unlike leveraged products, GOEX avoids time decay and benefits from the inherent leverage of gold exploration and mining equities.

Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are all outperforming the broader market so far in 2025, with year-to-date (YTD) returns of 42%, 52%, and 17%, respectively. As the U.S. dollar weakens at a pace not seen in decades, investors are turning to these alternatives in search of a stable store of value and some protection against inflation.
