Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV) has emerged as a key player in the royalty sector, primarily focused on precious and base metals, alongside some oil and gas interests. Analysts highlight its remarkable growth of 44% annually over the past decade, projecting a stable yield of 0.84%. With significant catalysts on the horizon, including a growing backlog expected to materialize in the coming years, the company is viewed as solid due to its lack of operational risk and debt. Amidst fluctuating gold performance, analysts recommend maintaining a strategic allocation of precious metals in investment portfolios, advocating for a 10% exposure to gold, with FNV being a favored choice. Overall, FNV is perceived as a strong long-term investment, although concerns about future sustainability at current price levels are noted.

AEM

HOLD

A lot of the share price decline is because gold prices came off. If you want exposure in the this sector this is a great investment. It is a royalty company. This one has outperformed the gold sector.

BUY

Interesting business model. Down since July. Hit by stall in gold rally. With weakness in US dollar, he'd have thought that gold sector would be stronger. Gold is undervalued here, and has a ways to run. Good way to play gold.

BUY

He's bullish on gold. He plays it through FNV, the best way to get exposure to the commodity and exploration, while insulating yourself from financial and geopolitical risk.

TOP PICK

Great quarter. A royalty company, so avoids much of the commodity risk. Gold is in a structural uptrend right now. Perennial all-weather gold name to own in the sector. Yield is 0.71%. (Analysts’ price target is $211.51)

BUY

TOP PICK

The go-to gold stock. They don't mine, but are a royalty company of gold (and other precious metals) miners. As the price of gold rises, miners drill more and more royalties FNV receives--this is crucial. Operates on a strong business model. FNV outperforms the gold mining index in 9 out of 12 years. (Analysts’ price target is $206.58)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 23/19, Up 59%) It is one of his core holdings. The dividend structure will continue to grow going forward. He continues to hold it.

COMMENT

Gold producers? He prefers to own the Royal Canadian Mint (MNT) and Sprot (PHY.US) and Franco-Nevada (FNV). He likes the physical element. He would also consider the Junior Miners ETF (GDXJ). At some point, there will be a role for gold to help the economy recover.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 14/19, Up 108%) He suffered a little pullback when some of their mines were forced to close briefly. He likes their royalty business strategy. He continues to like it. Be careful with today's valuation. His go-to gold name.

HOLD

It is a streamer. It has done really well. It is more likely to increase within its period of seasonal strength. It is a good holding for longer term. Don't sell it. We are close to the period where it can do well.

COMMENT

Gold vs HUI If you look at HUI, trading near $198 and gold at $1654, there is a massive discretionary between their values. HUI (Gold Bugs ETF) is trading as if gold is trading at $1000. Company earnings are improving, so he thinks you could begin building positions. He would consider buying FNV here as a starting point and look to build a diversified portfolio. He would stay away from ETFs, if they don't own the shares in the underlying companies. He thinks you should own 20% in the gold sector.

COMMENT

He does not like this ETF. He would prefer to own the shares, not just holding derivatives. This can cause discounts to NAV at times. He would prefer to hold solid producers like FNV or ABX. If you want an ETF, he would pick HGGG.

BUY

The biggest player in the gold royalty space. He put this in his parent's account. It has steady cash flow from gold, silver, copper and oil. As gold prices continue to grow, the increase in earnings will continue to be paid to investors. He would be a buyer here for 5-10% of your portfolio position. Yield 1%

WEAK BUY

Gold Gold is a natural hedge to bad news. It's possible for gold to make new highs. He owns FNV-T, but they are a royalty firm, not a producer. His clients own 3-5% actual gold in their portfolios which is a reasonable hedge. Higher than that, he does not advise.
