Global X Expands Platform with Gold Miners ETF Launch

AUAU offers exposure to gold miners via a collection of companies involved in the gold mining industry

NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global X Management Company LLC ("Global X"), the New York-based provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), today announced the launch of the Global X Gold Miners ETF (AUAU), which seeks to provide investors with exposure to the gold mining industry. AUAU tracks the NYSE^® Arca Gold Miners Index^®, which aims to provide exposure to globally listed companies that are involved in the gold or silver mining industry. The fund is passively managed with an expense ratio of 35 basis points.^[i]

"Commodities such as gold have long played a role in diversified portfolios because their returns often move independently of traditional stock and bond assets, which can help reduce overall portfolio volatility. Meanwhile, gold miners have historically provided greater exposure to changes in gold prices, while also offering dividend potential," said Pedro Palandrani, Head of Product Research & Development at Global X.

The fund seeks to provide investors with access to a broad range of gold mining companies, but currently has a bias toward mature miners with operational facilities, in keeping with the NYSE^® Arca Gold Miners Index's^® primary focus.
