- Confirm the specific voting authority (Sole, Shared, None) for each holding to understand the level of control Sprott Inc. exercises.
- Review the "Put/Call" column to assess the extent of derivative exposure, particularly in silver and bond ETFs.
- Compare these holdings against the previous quarter's 13F filing to identify significant entry or exit positions.
- Note that the filing includes holdings in Sprott's own ETFs (e.g., Sprott Physical Gold & Silver Trust, Sprott Uranium Miners ETF), which may reflect internal fund management rather than external investment strategy.
