Subsequent Events [Text Block]	NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On November 12, 2015, a proxy statement and notice of a special meeting of USGIF shareholders, to be held on December 9, 2015, was filed with the SEC. The purpose of the special meeting is to ask the shareholders of the Funds to elect a new slate of trustees to the Board of Trustees of the Funds. If successful, such action would facilitate the Funds becoming part of the family of funds that receive administrative, fund accounting and transfer agency services from Atlantic Fund Services (“Atlantic”). Transitioning the Funds to the Atlantic-sponsored family of funds may enable the Funds to realize certain operational economies of scale. The Company and the current Board of Trustees of the Funds endorse this proposal. If the proposed trustees are elected, it is anticipated that Atlantic will, over time, provide administrative, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Funds. A revised administration agreement between the Funds and the Company is anticipated whereby the Company will provide reduced administrative services to the Funds than it currently provides, and at a reduced fee level. For the three months ending September 30, 2015, revenue from administrative fees was $111,000. The estimated administrative fees for the quarter ending September 30, 2015, if the revised agreement had been in place before July 1, 2015, would have been approximately $50,000. There is no assurance, however, that the new Board will approve the revised agreement. The Company will continue to provide the day-to-day investment management of the Funds pursuant to the investment advisory agreement currently in effect. It is anticipated that a third-party will become the distributor for the Funds. Therefore, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, U.S. Global Brokerage, Inc., will cease to be the distributor for the Funds and will no longer receive distribution fees and shareholder services fees from the Funds. The Company expects to be reimbursed for certain platform expenses and other distribution-related expenses, thereby reducing the Company’s expenses. For the three months ending September 30, 2015, revenue from distribution fees and shareholder services fees were $245,000 and $103,000, respectively. It is also anticipated that certain other expenses of the Funds will be reduced upon implementation of the proposal. The Company currently waives or reduces its fees and/or agrees to pay expenses of the Funds above a certain amount. If the proposal is approved and expenses of the Funds are reduced, the Company expects that the fees it waives or expenses it pays to cap the Funds’ expenses will decrease. The Company will review and streamline processes and costs related to the reduction in services and responsibilities to the Funds. All costs related to the proposal will be split equally between the Company and the Funds, with the Funds’ portion exclusive of each Fund’s expense cap. The total costs are estimated to be approximately $660,000, but could be higher or lower. The Company’s portion, approximately $330,000, is expected to be included as an expense in the quarter ending December 31, 2015.
