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.

Commentary
Gold Gains Ground as Faith in the Dollar Erodes
BY PAUL WONG · 6/05/2025
Gold continues its rally as fading confidence in U.S. fiscal policy and the U.S. dollar drives demand for real assets. As we publish, silver is breaking out above $35, supported by structural supply deficits, renewed investor interest and mounting macroeconomic pressures.
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.
The Return of Exter’s Inverted Pyramid
BY JOHN HATHAWAY · 4/11/2025
Gold has been rising on strong official sector demand, fueled by concerns over the U.S. dollar and global instability. While Western investors have focused on potentially overvalued stocks, gold and mining equities offer potential upside as other assets struggle.
