Organization
ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited (the “Company”) is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
The Company was initially organized as a public limited liability company in the Republic of South Africa in June 1958. On November 11, 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to move the Company’s place of incorporation from the Republic of South Africa to the Commonwealth of Bermuda by reorganizing itself into an exempted limited liability company formed in Bermuda. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to an order under Section 7(d) of the 1940 Act.
The Company seeks long-term capital appreciation primarily through investing in companies engaged in the exploration for, development of projects or mining of precious metals and minerals. The Company is managed by Merk Investments LLC (the “Adviser”).
The Company included herein is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of the Company are used by the Adviser, to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown on the Statement of Operations and the financial highlights for the Company are the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Company. The Company is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements and there are no resources allocated to the Company based on performance measurements. Due to the significance of oversight and their role in the investment decision-making process, the Adviser’s Chief Investment Officer is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
-
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies:
-
Security valuation
The net asset value of the Company generally is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the date for which the valuation is being made (the “Valuation Time”). Portfolio securities listed on U.S. and foreign stock exchanges generally are valued at the last reported sale price as of the Valuation Time on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded, or the last reported bid price if a sale price is not available.
Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser, as defined in Note 1, as the Company’s valuation designee to perform any fair value determinations for securities and other assets held by the Company. The Adviser is subject to the oversight of the Board and certain reporting and other requirements intended to provide the Board the information needed to oversee the Adviser’s fair value determinations. The Adviser is responsible for determining the fair value of investments in accordance with policies and procedures that have been approved by the Board. Under these procedures, the Adviser convenes on a regular and ad hoc basis to review such investments and considers a number of factors, including valuation methodologies and unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Board has approved the Adviser’s fair valuation procedures as a part of the Company’s compliance program and will review any changes made to the procedures.
Securities traded over the counter are valued at the last reported sale price or the last reported bid price if a sale price is not available. Securities listed on foreign stock exchanges may be fair valued at a value other than the last reported sale price or last reported bid price based on significant events that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign markets. Shares of non-exchange traded open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”). To value its warrants, the Company’s valuation designee typically utilizes the Black-Scholes model using the listed price for the underlying common shares. The valuation is a combination of value of the stock price less the exercise price, plus some value related to the volatility of the stock over the remaining time period prior to expiration.
Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. If a security is valued at a “fair value,” that value may be different from the last quoted price for the security. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the nature of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion rights on the security; and changes in overall market conditions.
Notes to Financial Statements February 28, 2026 (Unaudited)
The difference between cost and market value is reflected separately as net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. The net realized gain or loss from the sale of securities is determined for accounting purposes on the identified cost basis.
-
Fair value measurement
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Company’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for identical instruments on an inactive market, prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the assets or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
