Gold shines as a compelling investment amid looming uncertainty.
These ETF areas emerged as top performers in the month of March.
Owning gold miners sidesteps the risk of individual miner stocks and offers leveraged exposure to gold, especially beneficial during market turbulence and gold bull runs. Diversifying a portfolio heavy on the S&P or Nasdaq with gold miners can capture upside potential, as the fortunes of the miners have diverged from the overall market. Earnings growth for the S&P is declining, while gold miners show contrasting, more favorable earnings, making them a strategic addition to portfolios.
Although there is one day left in Q1, I'm pleased to present a detailed review of my Q1 stock picks, along with updated commentary and ratings. Today's report begins with an unconventional review of Apple, which I plan to drop coverage on. This report contains new coverage of 38 stocks that I've previously written about here at Seeking Alpha.
Here are a few ETFs that have survived the recent turmoil and gained in double digits over the past month.
Gold hit a fresh record high on Thursday, with spot gold crossing $3,000 per ounce, up 1.8%. It has surged 13% in 2025, outperforming all major asset classes.
Gold mining ETFs are outperforming this year on rising gold prices.
Tariffs, geopolitical volatility, and overall economic uncertainty have taken over this year. So far in 2025, the top-performing ETFs are all international ETFs, with a handful of gold and gold mining ETFs.
Several economic indicators are raising concerns and investor anxiety about a potential recession. When combined with persistent economic and geopolitical concerns, these indicators are leading investors to seek out safe-haven assets.
Gold mining stocks, particularly the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), have outperformed gold itself, with GDXJ up 67% in the past year. GDXJ's modest valuation, strong technical trends, and bullish seasonal patterns make it a compelling buy despite its high risk and volatility. The ETF's portfolio consists of small-cap gold miners with high growth potential, and its assets under management have grown to $5 billion.
