### Method

The 10 of 10 ETFs in the gold miners theme with a filed book, most concentrated first. Across the funds listed here the weight in the ten largest runs from 38.9% to 66.8%. Concentration is not a fault. It is how much of the fund rides on ten decisions. The ranking is the published field sorted, nothing else: no scoring, no weighting and no view on any fund. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, including funds that have closed, because leaving them out would flatter the category.
