Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF Adjusts Index for Market Growth
Significant Index Changes for Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF
NEW YORK – Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Sprott Inc., has revealed an important change to the index tracked by the Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE Arca: SGDJ). This adjustment comes in light of the strong performance of junior gold miners, which have enjoyed substantial gains year-to-date. As of mid-September, these companies have collectively returned over 90%, resulting in shifts within the market capitalization of index constituents.
Impact of Market Growth on Index Structure
The substantial performance of junior gold miners has driven many to surpass the previous market capitalization threshold of $2 billion, which was part of the index’s criteria. To maintain the index’s integrity and effectiveness in weighting, Solactive AG has announced a temporary adjustment to the guidelines. This change will enhance the flexibility of the index and accommodate the growth trends evident in the market.
Revised Market Capitalization Threshold
The update involves increasing the minimum market capitalization limit for eligible securities. Previously set at below $2 billion, this threshold will now be adjusted to below $3 billion. This alteration is slated to take effect during the next scheduled rebalance of the index and serves as a one-off adjustment rather than a permanent modification.
