Fund Description: Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the ALPS ETF Trust, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF seeks to track investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, generally to the performance of the Sprott Zacks Junior Gold Miners Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The Sprott Zacks Junior Gold Miners Index aims to track the performance of junior gold and junior silver mining companies. Junior companies include early stage mining companies that are in the exploration stage only or that hold properties that might not ultimately produce gold or silver. In addition to common stock or American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) of junior gold mining companies, the Index may include common stock or ADRs of junior silver mining companies. The Index is compiled by Zacks Index Services (the Index Provider). In order to be included in the Index, the equity securities of junior gold or junior silver mining companies must be traded on one or more major U.S. or Canadian exchanges, have a minimum market capitalization of at least $250 million and a maximum market capitalization of $2 billion, and have a 3-month minimum average daily price volume of $500,000. The Index must consist of at least 80% junior gold mining companies while no more than 20% may consist of junior silver mining companies. The Index employs a modified market capitalization weighted methodology such that each constituent comprises no more than 9% of the weight of the Index as of each rebalance, provided that, as of each rebalance, no more than 45% of the weight of the Index may consist of constituents comprising greater than 5% of the weight of the Index. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually after the close of the third Friday of May and November. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund employs a passive management or indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund will invest at least 90% of its net assets in securities that comprise the Index. Under normal conditions, the Fund generally will invest in all of the securities that comprise the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index; however, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of the securities in the Index or utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques in seeking performance which corresponds to the performance of the Index. FUND MANAGEMENT: ALPS Advisors, Inc. serves as the investment adviser to the Fund.
