The Gold Report: What factors are making royalty and streaming companies attractive investment vehicles right now?
Ralph Aldis: There are several aspects. We look at factors like return on invested capital. It doesn’t necessarily have to be extremely high; we just want to see that there’s low volatility in those returns. The royalty companies do that very well.
