In addition, the Fund benefitted from, among other things, investor enthusiasm over the potential of artificial intelligence, which favorably impacted one of the Fund’s largest holdings, Alphabet Inc. U.S. personal spending has also expanded since the beginning of the year, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, positively impacting several of the Fund’s securities such as Williams-Sonoma, Inc. and AutoZone, Inc.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
 
How did the Fund perform during the period? What affected the Fund’s performance?
PRECIOUS METALS AND FINANCIAL MARKETS:
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the gold price averaged about $2,388 per ounce (all metal prices are based on the London PM Fix) as compared to $1,943 and $1,801 in 2023 and 2022, respectively. With a low of $1,985 and a high of $2,785, the gold price ended up about 26% over 2024. Similarly, the price of silver ended up 23% over 2024. These market conditions have positively impacted the Fund because the Fund was invested in companies whose revenue is derived from the mining and sale of gold, silver, and certain base metals. In response to, among other things, the rise of precious metals prices, the Fund’s leverage was increased.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND RETURNS:
The Fund seeks primarily capital appreciation and protection against inflation and, secondarily, current income. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund’s total return was 7.27% and the S&P 500 Index total return was 25.02%. The Fund’s net investment loss, net realized gain on investments, and net increase in unrealized appreciation on investments were, respectively, $424,398, $19,796, and $1,301,309, which contributed materially to the Fund’s total return. The Fund’s top performance contributors were Lundin Gold, a Canadian gold miner with operations in Ecuador, and Kinross Gold Corp., a Canadian-based major precious metals producer. The Fund’s top performance detractors during the same period were Victoria Gold Corp., a Canadian gold miner, and Resolute Mining Inc., an Australian gold miner. During this period, unrealized depreciation was recorded from holdings of, among others, Newmont Corporation, a major precious metals producer, and unrealized appreciation from, among others, Agnico Eagle Mines, Ltd., a Canadian precious metals producer.
