The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis, in November and May, to incorporate the latest factor scores into the selection and weighting process.

Commentary
Gold Holds Its Ground as Real Yields Surge
BY PAUL WONG AND KENNY ZHU · 10/8/2026
Gold held firm in September as real yields surged, suggesting investors are increasingly focused on fiscal strain and reserve diversification. We examine why rising Treasury yields can deepen the fiscal challenge and why gold’s role outside the sovereign liability structure matters. We also assess silver’s rate headwinds, resilient Chinese demand and industrial support.
Gold Mining 2.0: Are Investors Looking Through an Outdated Lens?
BY KENNY ZHU · 10/7/2026
Gold miners have entered a new era—one defined by stronger balance sheets, greater capital discipline and record earnings, yet valuations still reflect the industry’s past. At the same time, a growing scarcity of high-quality gold reserves could increase the strategic value of gold miners capable of replacing and developing economic ounces.
Gold Stocks May Finally Be Ready to Outperform
BY JOHN HATHAWAY · 9/30/2026
Sprott's John Hathaway joins Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris to discuss why he views gold as an “all-weather strategy” and sees a more favorable outlook for gold equities. He explains how capital discipline, potential M&A and miners’ operating leverage could support outperformance, even without higher gold prices.
Gold and Silver Surge as Fiscal Credibility Erodes
BY PAUL WONG AND KENNY ZHU · 9/8/2026
Gold and silver surged in August as rising debt, higher term premiums and growing concerns about U.S. fiscal credibility revived the currency debasement trade. Gold is increasingly behaving as “outside money,” supported by strong central bank buying, while silver is benefiting from renewed investor demand, persistent supply deficits and tight inventories. We examine why these forces may be setting the stage for the next move in precious metals.
Gold and Silver: Looking Beyond the Correction
By Maria Smirnova · 8/6/2026
After one of the strongest years in decades for precious metals, 2026 has been a year of correction, consolidation and renewed perspective. With gold and silver beginning to rebound, CIO Maria Smirnova examines the macroeconomic forces behind this year's pullback, why the fundamental drivers for precious metals remain intact, and why today's valuations may present compelling long-term opportunities across bullion and mining equities.
Back to The Monetary Future - PART 1
PODCAST · 7/30/2026
Ed Coyne welcomes back Ronnie Stöferle to discuss the 20th anniversary edition of the In Gold We Trust report, Back to the Monetary Future. Ronnie reflects on two decades of gold’s evolution as a monetary asset, central bank buying and the new thinking on gold’s place in modern portfolios. The conversation also explores why gold’s simplicity, liquidity and lack of counterparty risk may matter more than ever in an increasingly uncertain financial system.
