<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #000000">SAN ANTONIO&#8211;February 14, 2018&#8211;</font><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000">U.S. Global Investors, Inc. </font><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif">(NASDAQ: GROW)</font><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000"> (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a boutique registered investment advisory firm with longstanding experience in global markets and specialized sectors, today reported earnings of $749,000, or $0.05 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. This was a significant improvement over the same quarter the previous year, which had net income of $8,000, or $0.00 per share.</font></div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt">As was the case in the first quarter, the improvement in income was mainly due to an investment accounted for under the equity method in a fund managed by Galileo Global Equity Advisors Inc. (Galileo). The Company and the Galileo fund made strategic investments in HIVE Blockchain Technologies, the first publicly-traded firm involved in the business of mining new digital currencies, also known as cryptocurrencies.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt">In addition, the Company saw higher assets under management (AUM) in its two exchange-traded funds (ETFs). At the end of the quarter, the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) and U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (GOAU), which launched in June 2017, collectively held $115.2 million. This is up substantially from $65.7 million at the end of the same three-month period in 2016.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt">Average assets under management, including U.S. Global Investors Funds, the U.S. Global ETFs, Galileo clients and offshore clients, were $758.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to an average of $850.7 million for the same quarter a year ago, a decrease of 11 percent. Total assets under management were $746.0 million as of December 31, 2017, versus $811.5 million at December 31, 2016, a decrease of 8 percent.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt">Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors, comments, &#8220;It&#8217;s important for investors to remember that, since 2000, the price of gold has outperformed the S&amp;P 500 nearly two-to-one, and last year it returned slightly more than 13 percent. Despite this, the financial media continues to have a tendency to downplay gold as an asset class.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000">&#8220;A new gold rally kicked off after the Federal Reserve hiked rates in mid-December, and the yellow metal started the new year above $1,300 an ounce, the first time it&#8217;s done so since 2013. With inflation expected to heat up in 2018 on trade concerns and rising wages, and with geopolitical risks high, I believe many investors could be more inclined to return to the gold space as a safe haven. I&#8217;m pleased that our U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (GOAU) more than</font> doubled its average assets from the previous quarter, a clear sign there&#8217;s appetite for a smarter, rules-based alternative to gold investing.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 3pt">&#8220;As for our investment in HIVE Blockchain Technologies, I&#8217;m deeply honored to serve as its chairman and strategic partner, along with Genesis Mining and its brilliant CEO Marco Streng. It&#8217;s exciting to be at the forefront of this new technology and see the immediate creation of Ethereum assets. Cryptocurrencies are reshaping how transactions are made and how companies raise funds across the globe, while blockchain technology has the potential to dramatically improve transparency and efficiency in a number of industries, from manufacturing to shipping to health care. The year 2017 was the real catalyst, bringing bitcoin and other digital currencies into mainstream conversations as bitcoin hit an all-time high of nearly $20,000 apiece in mid-December.&#8221;</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 3pt">Cryptocurrencies Remain Highly Volatile, Speculative Trades</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 3pt">&#8220;Since we made public our investment in HIVE in September, GROW stock&#8217;s volatility has increased substantially compared to the same period last year,&#8221; Holmes continues. &#8220;The reason for this is that a number of investors now trade GROW as a proxy for bitcoin and Ethereum, which are highly volatile and speculative. GROW&#8217;s daily standard deviation for the 12-month period as of December 31 was 7.13 percent, while bitcoin&#8217;s was 5.88 percent. Compare that to the S&amp;P 500, which has an average daily standard deviation of approximately 1 percent for the 10-year period, and gold stocks, as measured by the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, which has one closer to 3 percent over the same period.&#8221;</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 3pt">&#8220;Having said that, the crypto space is rapidly maturing in a number of different ways. Every day, more and more businesses accept the currency as a form of payment. Investors can now buy bitcoin futures. Fidelity and USAA both allow accountholders to monitor their cryptocurrency holdings. Blockchain ETFs are beginning to appear on the market&#8212;though a couple of proposed bitcoin ETFs have hit roadblocks getting approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN-TOP: 3pt">&#8220;Last year, the cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase booked $1 billion in revenue, almost double what company executives had expected for 2017. Founded only six years ago and boasting more than 13.5 million accounts, Coinbase has recently closed the door on any additional venture capital, leaving investors to hope for an initial public offering (IPO) sometime in the near future.</div>

For this and other important information regarding the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) and U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (GOAU), obtain a statutory and summary prospectus by <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000">visiting </font><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif">www.usglobaletfs.com.</font><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000">&#160;</font>Read it carefully before investing.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Because JETS, GOAU and GOGO concentrate their investments in specific industries, they may be subject to greater risks and fluctuations than a portfolio representing a broader range of industries. Airline Companies may be adversely affected by a downturn in economic conditions that can result in decreased demand for air travel and may also be significantly affected by changes in fuel prices, labor relations and insurance costs. JETS, GOAU and GOGO are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate more of their assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The funds invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. The funds may invest in the securities of smaller-capitalization companies, which may be more volatile than funds that invest in larger, more established companies. The performance of the funds may diverge from that of the index. Because JETS, GOAU and GOGO may employ a representative sampling strategy and may also invest in securities that are not included in the index, they may experience tracking error to a greater extent than funds that seek to replicate an index. The funds are not actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments related to their indexes.</div>
