The fund doesn't shy away from international exposure either. It invests in major mining regions such as Canada (75.54%), and Australia (11.89%). Additionally, GBUG may hold positions in emerging market companies, tapping into growth opportunities across the globe. The ETF focuses on small (27.7%) and mid-cap (52.1%) companies mainly.
"Given the operational complexities of mining, investors may benefit from an active ETF strategy focused on long-term business fundamentals and growth potential,” Sprott CEO Whitney George said.
George also highlighted the team's deep industry knowledge, pointing out that they conduct over 200 management meetings annually and make regular site visits to mining operations worldwide.
"Gold and silver mining stocks have historically been correlated to bullion, but in recent years, they've lagged the price of the physical metals," noted John Hathaway, CFA, Managing Partner at Sprott and Senior Portfolio Manager, Sprott Asset Management. "Gold and silver mining stocks could offer significant catch-up potential," he added.
