WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Gold Miners Strategy Fund·Financial Services

Amid military conflict in Iran, gold is belying its safe-haven status. The largest ETF backed by physical holdings of the commodity is off more than 14% over the past month.

The WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Gold Miners Strategy Fund is unique among gold ETFs. It's a departure from the norm and is benefiting investors in significant fashion.

WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Gold Miners ETF offers 1.8x leveraged exposure split equally between gold and gold miners, enhancing capital efficiency. GDMN remains a "Buy," supported by robust gold demand from retail, institutional, and central bank buyers, and favorable miner margins. Miners benefit from parabolic gold prices and linear cost increases, but low CapEx and regulatory hurdles constrain new supply.

The scintillating pace established by gold last year is extending into 2026. The WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Gold Miners Strategy Fund (GDMN) surged almost 42% since the start of 2026.

Experienced gold investors know that when it comes to global demand, few markets are as important to the commodity as India. For one thing, the country is the world's largest by population.

WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Gold Miners Strategy Fund ETF has dramatically outperformed gold and peer ETFs during gold's parabolic rally. GDMN's leveraged mix of gold miners and gold futures drove a 226% gain in 2025 and 58.3% in early 2026, surpassing GDX and GDXJ. With gold above $5,300, risk has become unacceptable; I recommend taking profits or using stops to protect capital.
The fund invests, either directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary, in a portfolio comprised of (i) U.S.-listed gold futures contracts and (ii) global equity securities issued by companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue from the gold mining business. The fund will invest in a representative basket of global equity securities issued by Gold Miners generally weighted by market capitalization. The fund may invest in U.S. Treasury securities and other liquid short-term investments as collateral for its U.S.-listed gold futures contracts. The fund is non-diversified.
