Change to Index Tracked by Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (SGDJ)

NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprott Inc., today announced a slight modification to the index that Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE Arca: SGDJ) tracks.   Gold miners, as measured by the Solactive Junior Gold Miners Custom Factors Index, have returned more than 90%, year-to-date, as of September 16, 2025. This strong performance has led to an increase in market capitalization of the index constituents, causing many junior gold miners to rise above the $2 billion market capitalization ceiling as outlined in Section 2.1 of the index methodology. In response to this development in the gold market and to preserve the integrity and the implementability of the Index’s weighting methodology, Solactive AG announced a one-off adjustment to the guideline of the Index, which SGDJ tracks. This change affects the security-level market capitalization requirement as outlined in Section 2.1 of the index methodology.
