Description: GDXJ Junior Gold Miners January 09, 2026
The VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE ARCA:GDXJ) is a non-diversified fund that must allocate at least 80% of its assets to the underlying index, which screens for companies deriving ≥ 50% of revenue from gold or silver mining, royalties, streaming, or from projects expected to meet that threshold once operational.
Key metrics to watch: the fund’s expense ratio sits around 0.35%, its average holding market cap is roughly $300 million (signifying true “junior” exposure), and the portfolio’s weighted average cash cost per ounce of gold is approximately $900-well below the industry average for senior miners, making it sensitive to gold price movements and cost-inflation dynamics. Additionally, junior miners are heavily influenced by capital-raising cycles and geopolitical risk in resource-rich regions, which can amplify volatility relative to broader precious-metal equities.
