VIDEO - Poised to Outperform? Execs Explain the Appeal of Royalty and Streaming Stocks

Royalty and streaming companies are a popular choice among expert investors, with many saying they are a good place to put money.

The main benefit of these companies is that they offer exposure to metals without the same risk typically attached to exploration and mining companies.

In streaming agreements, a company pays a set price upfront to receive all or part of a mine’s future production; the company may also make additional agreed-upon payments when delivery happens.
