Global X Gold Explorers ETF (NYSEArca: GLDX)
2014 Gain: 29%
Comment: GLDX is the ETF fighting with SILJ for top honors among non-leveraged ETF this year. The very fact that GLDX is anywhere the top 10 confirms this ETF’s rebirth. Last year, GLDX was one of the worst non-leveraged ETFs and was reverse split to prop up its flailing share price. GLDX is small with $37 million in AUM. [Last Year’s ETF Laggards Rise in 2014]
