USGI-IM manages a family of no-load mutual funds that specializes in gold and precious metals, natural resources and emerging markets. The firm uses a matrix of top-down macro models and bottom-up micro stock selection models to determine weighting in countries, sectors and individual securities. They apply both statistical and fundamental models, including growth at a reasonable price (GARP), to identify companies with superior growth and value metrics.

PCI’s investment strategies are all based on the same underlying investment philosophy of capital preservation and low correlation to the broad markets. They perform fundamental and legal analysis on investments, including reviews of company financials and review of legal documentation related to proposed investment opportunities. The firm seeks to achieve positive excess returns through trading the securities and/or derivatives thereon of companies that are the subject of proposed changes in corporate structure or control such as tender offers, mergers, spin-offs, proxy contests, liquidations, recapitalizations, restructurings and bankruptcy reorganizations.
