About
Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth and family office clients), institutions and pooled investment vehicles. The firm offers separately managed accounts, private funds, registered funds and a suite of resource‑ and metals‑focused ETFs, and manages strategies that can include direct exposure to physical commodities.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes bottom‑up, value‑oriented fundamental analysis of natural‑resource and precious‑metals businesses, supplemented by top‑down asset allocation in its family office and multi‑strategy mandates; strategies in use can include option writing and selective short positions. Portfolios are tailored to client mandates and the firm offers both actively managed and index‑based ETF implementations to express its resource‑focused views.
Notably, Sprott is registered with the National Futures Association as a Commodity Pool Operator/Commodity Trading Adviser and manages a physical‑commodities fund capable of holding and trading commodity inventory and related instruments — a capability that is uncommon among similarly sized enterprise advisers. The firm’s client billing is primarily asset‑based and performance‑linked rather than fixed‑fee, and it operates with affiliated trading and product relationships that can affect trade routing and allocations.
