Sprott Asset Management

CEO John Ciampaglia leads the firm, with Chairman Peter Grosskopf overseeing strategy. The investment team includes portfolio managers for each asset class, with decisions made through a centralized process focused on natural resources and energy-transition assets.

Sprott leverages over 40 years of relationships with mining companies, royalty firms, and energy-transition developers. Its public-market ETFs and private-credit platforms generate deal flow from companies seeking capital for exploration, development, and infrastructure projects.

Sprott operates through both channels. It manages a range of ETFs for public-market exposure and offers private-credit and direct-equity strategies for institutional investors. This dual approach allows it to provide capital across the capital structure.

Sprott invests across the spectrum, from early-stage mining exploration to established production companies. Its private-credit strategies focus on development-stage and mature assets, while ETFs provide exposure to listed miners and royalty firms.

Sprott does not invest broadly outside natural resources and energy transition. It avoids technology, healthcare, and consumer sectors, maintaining a focused mandate on mining, metals, energy, and related infrastructure.

Sprott Asset Management is a subsidiary of Sprott Inc., a publicly traded asset management company on the Toronto Stock Exchange (ticker: SII). Sprott Inc. also oversees other entities, including Sprott Private Wealth and Sprott Foundation.

Yes, the Sprott Foundation is a separate charitable entity funded by the founding family. It operates independently from the asset management business, focusing on education and healthcare causes.
