Summary:

Join Sprott for an exclusive webcast that will explore the powerful macro forces shaping the metals and mining sector. We’ll explore the explosive growth in energy demand and the rise of AI, the critical issues of energy security, resource nationalism and persistent supply-demand imbalances. Learn how first-hand experience in the mining sector can benefit equity selection in the miners of gold, silver, uranium, copper and more.

We’ll help you:

  • Understand the long-term drivers of global demand for metals and miners.
  • Discover why active management matters more than ever in this dynamic landscape.
  • Learn how Sprott’s multidisciplinary team blends top-down sector analysis with bottom-up stock selection—and employs boots-on-the-ground analysis of mining operations.
  • Navigate volatility and potentially seize opportunities across gold, silver, uranium and copper.

Important Disclosures

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 market makers or “authorized participants” may trade directly with the fund, typically in blocks of 10,000 shares.

The Sprott Active Gold & Silver Miners ETF and the Sprott Active Metals & Miners ETF are new and have limited operating history. The fund adviser’s judgments about the growth, value, or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact the fund’s performance relative to its benchmark.
