Long Before a Switch Is Flipped

Energy begins with critical materials, the metals and minerals we mine that generate, transmit and store energy. This energy powers massive AI data centers and other technology that’s changing the course of human history. The Sprott Critical Materials ETFs give investors access to uranium, copper, silver, nickel, rare earths, lithium and more. These are the essential materials powering the global shift to electrification.

Energy and National Security Take Center Stage

Global demand for critical materials is surging as nations diversify energy systems to guard against geopolitical and economic shocks. China’s dominance in key supply chains highlights the strategic need for reliable access. This shift is redefining national priorities and reshaping long-term investment strategies.

Important Disclosures & Definitions

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of each fund carefully before investing. To obtain a fund’s Prospectus, which contains this and other information, contact your financial professional, call 1.888.622.1813 or visit SprottETFs.com. Read the Prospectus carefully before investing.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow for an individual to trade throughout the day, which may indicate higher transaction costs and result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account.

The funds are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers, particularly those in the natural resources and/or precious metals industry, which may experience greater price volatility. Relative to other sectors, natural resources and precious metals investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage and liquidity should also be considered.

Shares are not individually redeemable. Investors buy and sell shares of the funds on a secondary market. Only “authorized participants” may trade directly with the funds, typically in blocks of 10,000 shares.

The Sprott Active Metals & Miners ETF is new and has limited operating history.

Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. is the Investment Adviser to the Sprott ETFs. ALPS Distributors, Inc. is the Distributor for the Sprott ETFs and is a registered broker-dealer and FINRA Member. ALPS Distributors, Inc. is not affiliated with Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc.
