ATRAM Trust Corporation has launched the ATRAM Global Gold Equity Feeder Fund, opening a new avenue for Filipino investors to gain exposure to international precious metals through professionally managed global equities.
Available in both Philippine Pesos and US Dollars, the Unit Investment Trust Fund (UITF) is structured for high-risk, aggressive investors with a long-term investment horizon. The vehicle comes as investors seek tools to navigate persistent inflation, currency volatility, and broader economic uncertainty.
Rather than buying, transporting, or storing physical bullion, the fund operates as a feeder fund, directing substantially all of its assets into a diversified global portfolio.
This strategy provides exposure to operating companies operating across major mining markets worldwide, including businesses engaged in gold exploration, development, extraction, and financing.
Unlike physical gold—which acts primarily as a static store of value—gold-mining companies operate as active businesses whose profit margins expand when gold prices rise faster than production costs.
This dynamic gives equity investors potential for enhanced returns compared to the underlying metal, though with higher downside volatility.
Historically, gold-related equities have also demonstrated a low correlation to broader global markets, making them an effective tool for portfolio diversification during market stress.
“Many investors think of gold primarily as a physical asset, but there is also opportunity in the businesses that support the industry,” said Miguel Liboro, Head of Products at ATRAM. “With this Fund, investors can participate in the growth potential of companies involved across the gold value chain while gaining exposure to an asset class that has long played a role in diversified portfolios.”
