The ETF universe now is teeming with more than 1,000 funds. Yet there is one asset class, particularly this year, that really has captured everyone’s attention -- and that’s precious metals.

Precious metals, like stocks and bonds, are an asset class which represents a great deal of risk along with the potential for big rewards. One of the biggest challenges confronting precious metals investors is dealing with the tremendous volatility in the sector.

We’ve seen this volatility in the premier precious metal, gold, since the value of the yellow metal has gyrated wildly over the past 12 months. Because gold and other precious metals generally are non-stock, non-bond correlated investments, they’ve become very attractive to individual investors, despite their propensity for volatility. This low market correlation is a crucial component for investors who seek diversification within their portfolios.

In our latest special report, “The Fabian Precious Metals Watch List,” we’ve identified 20 precious metals ETFs that give you access to both the bullion and mining segments of the best precious metals available to investors today. To get your free report, simply click here.
