Harvest Global Gold Giants
Index ETF
Gold Exposure From Industry Leaders
Gold is a longstanding source of defensiveness and ballast in any investor’s portfolio. The Harvest Global Gold Giants Index ETF is designed to give investors gold exposure through profitable large-scale gold miners. This is meant to minimize the impact of fluctuating gold prices for a portfolio, especially on the downside.
