Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals
5-year avg total return: 27.89%
Expense ratio: 1.12%
Asset size: $5 billion
Like other top gold funds, Oppenheimer's $5 billion offering focuses on big miners -- Kinross Gold in Canada and Newcrest Mining in Australia are top holdings.
These low-cost producers have kept their own mining costs in check as the price of gold has surged, which has helped produce impressive 28% annualized returns for this fund since 2005.
