 Dear Fellow Investor, A small government task force just finished a 20-year project. They probably didn't realize their findings would allow everyday citizens to stake a claim on a $500 trillion national treasure. But they did. And under U.S. law your birthright claim is now active. This opportunity won't stay under the radar for long. Click here to see how to claim your piece before Washington changes its mind. "The Buck Stops Here," Dylan Jovine, CEO & Founder Behind the Markets P.S. This claim belongs to American citizens - but the first profits will go to those who move early. See the full briefing here.

Article Highlights- Gold and silver have surged over the past year, rising 62% and 137% respectively amid a broad metals rally.
- Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) provide accessible exposure to precious and industrial metals through spot-price tracking or mining-focused strategies.
- ETFs like GMET, PALL, and PLTM offer targeted opportunities in metals tied to clean energy, including palladium and platinum.
With gold and silver posting their best year-long performances in several decades in 2025, investors are highly attuned to metals' price action heading into the new year. Many seek exposure via exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which offer multiple access points—including physically backed funds that track a metal's spot price as well as less direct exposure via funds holding shares of mining companies and other vehicles linked to the metals space. Investors looking for a fresh approach to metals ETFs might consider three funds with distinct strategies or targets. The funds below go beyond basic gold and silver funds to target companies by metal application or to provide exposure to often-overlooked metals such as palladium and platinum (both of which have also seen prices surge over the last year). Broad Geographic Reach to Access Metals Key to the Green Energy RevolutionThe Comeback of the Century: Wall Street Wrote Him Off… But Elon's $3 Trillion Comeback Could Begin Soon
Elon Musk was declared washed up and finished. But any day now, he could unveil a new technology that outshines Tesla, SpaceX, even PayPal… a breakthrough big enough to solve America's toughest problem, make President Trump a hero to the Western World… and spark a $3 trillion boom. Early investors could see massive gains. See more about this secret project here. The VanEck Green Metals ETF (NYSEARCA: GMET) tracks an index of companies that produce, refine, and process metals important to the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy—cobalt, copper, lithium and various rare-earth metals. Because many of these metals are mined in specific regions, GMET has a global focus: it includes companies across the market-cap spectrum and spans multiple countries. Firms based in South Africa represent the largest allocation within GMET's portfolio at nearly 18%, followed by companies from China, Australia and Canada. Because of its narrow focus, GMET holds a relatively small basket of just 55 companies and can be fairly concentrated in a handful of names. Many of its positions are not exclusively focused on green metals—its largest holding, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX), produces copper as well as gold and other metals. That means investors may get some exposure to the precious-metals rally through GMET, but the fund is primarily aimed at those bullish on the energy transition. Over the past year, GMET has risen by more than 81%, underscoring demand for metals tied to the clean-energy shift. Unique Exposure to a Metal Essential to the Automotive and Electronics IndustriesPalladium is a key input for catalytic converters and a range of electronics, and it's increasingly used in hydrogen fuel cells and memory storage. The abrdn Physical Palladium Shares ETF (NYSEARCA: PALL) is one of the few ways investors can access the spot price of palladium, since there are no publicly traded pure-play palladium mining firms. PALL holds bars of palladium in London vaults—more than 500,000 ounces as of the end of September 2025. Its focused mandate comes with a higher expense ratio of 0.60%. Still, given palladium's rally over the past year and PALL's roughly 74% return over that period, many investors may find the cost acceptable. Investors should note, however, that targeted palladium exposure leaves them tied to cyclical industries such as automotive production. Lowest-Cost Platinum ExposureThe GraniteShares Platinum Trust (NYSEARCA: PLTM) carries an expense ratio of 0.50%, making it the lowest-cost platinum ETF available. Platinum appeals both as a precious metal and for industrial uses—medical devices, automotive components, electronics and other specialized applications. With a 124% price gain over the past year, platinum has outpaced even gold amid a strong rally. That advance likely reflects both investor demand for a defensive alternative during market turbulence and optimism about platinum's potential in biomedical research, green energy and high-end electronics. Investors should note that platinum supply is concentrated in a few countries—most notably South Africa and Russia. Supply squeezes, shifting geopolitical relations, or other external factors could have an outsized effect on platinum prices, either benefiting PLTM holders or creating downside risk depending on the circumstances.
