Overview

Sprott Junior Gold Miners Exchange Traded Fund (NYSE Arca: SGDJ) seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the performance of its underlying index, the Solactive Junior Gold Miners Custom Factors Index (Ticker: SOLJGMFT). The Index aims to track the performance of small-capitalization gold companies whose stocks are listed on regulated exchanges.

The Index uses a transparent, rules-based methodology that is designed to emphasize junior gold stocks with market capitalization between $200 million and $2 billion. The Index emphasizes junior gold producers with the strongest revenue growth and junior exploration companies with the strongest stock price momentum. The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis, in November and May, to incorporate the latest factor scores into the selection and weighting process.

4 Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. (the “Adviser”), the Investment Adviser to the Fund, has contractually agreed to waive the management fee, and/or reimburse expenses so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursements (not including distribution (12b-1) fees, shareholder service fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed a maximum of 0.50% of the share’s average daily net assets through April 30, 2025.

5 From July 22, 2019 forward, Index data reflects the Fund's current underlying Index, the Solactive Junior Gold Miners Custom Factors Index (SOLJGMFT), which was created by Solactive AG ("Index Provider") to provide a means of generally tracking the performance of junior gold mining companies whose stocks are traded on Canadian and major U.S. exchanges. Index data prior to July 22, 2019, reflects the Fund’s former index, the Sprott Zacks Junior Gold Miners Index (ZAXSGDJ). Index data shown for periods that include dates prior to July 22, 2019, reflect a blend of the performance of the SOLJGMFT and ZAXSGDJ Indices. An investor cannot invest directly in the Index. SGDJ was reorganized from ALPS ETF Trust into Sprott ETF Trust on or about 7/19/19. SGDJ is a continuation of the prior Fund and, therefore, the performance information shown includes the prior Fund's performance. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Gold Silver New

A Shaky U.S. Dollar Boosts Gold’s Role as an Alternative Reserve Asset

BY PAUL WONG · 5/08/2025
Gold is gaining prominence as a reserve asset due to a weak U.S. dollar and declining U.S. financials, reaching record highs while equities and bonds fell. We believe this positions gold as a potential anchor for a multi-asset reserve system. Given silver’s correlation to gold, we believe its monetary value will reassert itself in time.
