Gold mining drives high economic and ESG costs, with restricted liquidity access

b_icon1

Mining one kilogram of gold uses 265,000 liters of water. That’s like filling up your bathtub 1,325 times just to get a single gold bar

b_icon1

One gold ring generates 20 metric tons of highly toxic waste. Imagine gifting a ring with a hidden toxic time bomb attached

b_icon1

Billions of tons of toxic waste sit in tailing ponds worldwide, creating environmental ticking time bombs

Rampant child labor and other deplorable civil rights violations plague the industry, making your gold jewelry not just costly but ethically heavy

b_icon1

Major conduit for organized crime and money laundering, adding anotherlayer of murkiness to that shiny metal

b_icon1

ESG activism is sharply reducing the permitting of new mines, tightening the noose on future gold supply

b_icon1

Extremely high-risk, production-or-bust investment scenario, where a single hiccup can lead to monumental losses

b_icon1

Liquidity is constrained because it is linked to a tracker rather than the underlying asset, which restricts both liquidity and access to collateralized financial services
