About Us
Gold and gold stocks are more than a hobby or vocation, it is our passion.
Our Story
At Goldhub Australia, we strive to be the go-to website for precious metals and mining stocks in Australia.
From live quotes, stock index charts and presenting our unique database comprising valuation metrics, gold stock data and market sentiment indicators, we aim to help our users improve their investment performance and broaden their knowledge in this space.
GoldHub Australia is a joint venture between three friends, Brian W.B. Chu, Trung Thai and Jimmy Wong. They merged their different skills and expertise in investment research, data analysis, technological development and innovation to create this platform.
Sharing a common interest and successes in investing, particularly in precious metals and mining stocks, we seek to share what we have with the Australian precious metals investment community.
GoldHub Australia has links to the Australian Gold Fund, which Brian founded in 2019 using his family’s gold stocks portfolio . The fund has a history of outperforming the major gold stock benchmark indices such as the HUI, GDX, GDXJ and the ASX Gold Stock Index, and internationally renowned gold stock investors.
GoldHub Australian also has affiliations with one of Australia’s leading independent publisher of investment solutions , Fat Tail Investment Research. Brian is an editor of the precious metals and mining stocks newsletters at Fat Tail Investments Research (Fat Tail Daily, The Australian Gold Report and Gold Stock Pro) since 2021. His newsletters have several thousand subscribers in Australia and internationally.

Brian W. B. Chu
Managing Partner
Brian comes from an academic background as a lecturer in actuarial studies, statistics, finance, accounting and risk management, for over two decades. He has employed his analytical and research skills into precious metals and mining stock investing for over a decade.
He has invested in equities for over two decades but focused on precious metals after learning about the truth behind fiat currencies and the petrodollar system in 2013.
Starting his journey in the midst of the most brutal gold bear market in recent times, he endured massive paper losses in the first 18 months of his foray. Undaunted, he delved into the intricacies of this market and built a database and developed his unique analytical framework. His perseverance and intuition helped him secure significant returns in the bull markets of 2015-16 and 2019-20, where his annual returns were over 100%.
From his successes he established The Australian Gold Fund. He shared his investment insights and company analysis on his website, until 2021 when he commenced as an Editor at Fat Tail Investment Research.
Our services in GoldHub Australia are based on his framework, which Brian continues to refine.
GoldHub Australia is majority-owned by Brian through his investment vehicle, The Australian Gold Fund.
Brian is a devout Christian with a strong sense of justice and the truth. He is outspoken and values liberty and personal responsibility.
