Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (the “Company” or “U.S. Global”) serves as investment adviser to U.S. Global Investors Funds (“USGIF” or the “Fund(s)”), a Delaware statutory trust that is a no-load, open-end investment company offering shares in numerous mutual funds to the investing public. The Company also provides administrative services to USGIF. For these services, the Company receives fees from USGIF. The Company also provides advisory services to SEC registered exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). Until March 2020, the Company held a controlling interest in Galileo Global Equity Advisors Inc. (“Galileo”), a privately held Toronto-based asset management firm. The Company has the following subsidiaries utilized primarily for corporate investment purposes: U.S. Global Investors (Bermuda) Limited (“USBERM”), incorporated in Bermuda, and U.S. Global Investors (Canada) Limited (“USCAN”). The Company created U.S. Global Indices, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, of which the Company is the sole member, to provide indexing services to exchange-traded funds managed by the Company. Effective March 2, 2020, the Company sold its shares in Galileo back to Galileo. Through the date of sale, Galileo was consolidated with the operations of the Company. The non-controlling interest in this subsidiary was included in “Non-Controlling Interest in Subsidiary” in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Frank Holmes, CEO, and Lisa Callicotte, CFO, served as directors of Galileo through March 2, 2020, and Lisa Callicotte served as CFO of Galileo from June 2019 through March 2, 2020. See Note 3 below for further information. Results of operations of Galileo through the date of sale are presented in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. Should the global financial markets be negatively affected by COVID-19, there could be an adverse material financial impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future impact, given the uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic impact.
