Fundamental Investment Process

29

Adding alpha: picking companies with high re-rating

potential

The fund accumulates emerging producers, companies with increasing reserves & resources: these Companies are key M&A targets in an environment of declining supply and long lead times from discoveryto production.

30

THE KEY DECISION FOR BUYING RESOURCE STOCKS IN A BULL MARKET REMAIN- buy companies with a high proven reserve base, with positive earnings development and cashflow sustainability- accumulate emerging producers, companies increasing reserve & resources, whilst increasing production numbers - accumulate companies moving from the Junior to Mid Cap status & select M&A candidates- little exposure to large caps and hedge books- increasing African and Asian investment focus, which remain extremely undervalued and undiscovered- in addition, silver investments are favoured as

fundamentals remain exceptional- exposure to alternative energy names

GEM’s Investment Themes

31

THE KEY INVESTMENT FEATURES OF GEM- more nimble in investing in deeply-undervalued

companies- large competitors are either too large to benefit from the trend or have a tight tracking error to benchmark e.g. XAU - flexibility to invest in physical bullion and precious

metal futures to enhance returns and preserve capital- Passive option writing strategy may be employed- Investment Parameters: Equities between 60 to

90%; can hold Physical bullion; Derivative exposure up to 10%

- Holdings: The Fund will normally hold up to 50 holdings with a maximum limit of 10% of NAV in any one equity.

The Investment Approach is to focus on deep value and

growth

32

Mining-oriented + physical bullion: global diversification,

with Asia focus
