Only U.S.-Listed ETF That Provides Pure-Play Exposure to Large, Mid- and Small-Cap Copper Miners
Copper Miners ETF Adds to Sprott’s Expanding ETF Suite
TORONTO, March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprott Asset Management LP (“Sprott”) today announced the launch of the Sprott Copper Miners ETF (Nasdaq: COPP) (the “ETF” or “COPP”), the only1 U.S.-listed ETF to provide pure-play2 exposure to large, mid- and small-cap copper miners that supply a critical material necessary for the energy transition. The ETF is the most recent addition to Sprott’s suite of critical materials-focused ETFs and is Sprott’s second copper mining fund, joining the Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (COPJ), which launched in February 2023.
“Global commitments to meet net-zero emissions by 2050 are reliant upon copper-intensive electrification initiatives, such as expanding power grids, building clean energy infrastructure like wind turbines and solar panels, and manufacturing more electric vehicles,” said John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management. “Despite growing investor interest in copper as the energy transition gains momentum, it’s been challenging for investors to gain targeted exposure to copper miners. We’re pleased to offer a focused opportunity to invest in copper miners through this ETF.”
The Sprott Copper Miners ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Copper Miners™ Index (NSCOPP™). The Index is designed to track the performance of a selection of global securities in the copper industry, including copper producers, developers and explorers.
