In recent years, gold miner ETFs have become some of the most popular investment tools, offering “indirect” exposure to gold prices without the headache of futures trading or physically holding the precious metal. Considering today’s rocky environment, gold mining stocks can be a more appealing option than investing in physical bullion since these securities tend to generate meaningful cash flows.

And with the evolution of the ETF industry, there are now a number of products that allow investors to add gold miner exposure to their portfolio with ease.
