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 Gold Miners Custom Factors Index (SOLGMCFT), which was created by Solactive AG ("Index Provider") to provide a means of generally tracking the performance of 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 Gold Miners Index (ZAXSGDM). Index data shown for periods that include dates prior to July 22, 2019, reflect a blend of the performance of the SOLGMCFT and ZAXSGDM Indices. An investor cannot invest directly in an Index. SGDM was reorganized from ALPS ETF Trust into Sprott ETF Trust on or about 7/19/19. SGDM 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.
