Sprott launches a junior gold miners ETF

Carolyn Pairitz, SA News Editor

• The Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:SGDJ) is the junior miners equivalent to Sprott's popular Sprotts Gold Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:SGDM).
• SGDJ tracks an index of 36 U.S. and Canada listed companies with market values above $250 million, to remove the risk that comes with very early stage exploration firms.
• “The Index also weights companies differently by using two factors – revenue growth and price momentum – to emphasize companies with stronger growth potential. These factors have historically been strong predictors of long-term stock performance in the junior gold mining sector,” said John Ciampaglia, head of ETFs at Sprott, in a press release.
• Other junior gold miner ETFs: GDXJ, JNUG, JDST
