Our read on LITP

ETF.net Research

DLithium, undiluted. LITP tracks a rules-based Nasdaq Sprott index of roughly 40 lithium miners worldwide, rather than the broad metals grab bag most critical-materials funds hand you.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Lithium Miners Index.

Why people hold it

  1. 01One idea, cleanly expressed: a passive Nasdaq Sprott index of about 40 lithium miners globally, with no manager discretion over what gets in.
  2. 02The 0.65% fee sits right at the median for critical-materials ETFs, so the narrow focus costs no more than the broad funds in the group.
  3. 03Sprott runs it beside the wider SETM at the same 0.65% fee: one shop, two dial settings on critical materials.
  4. 04Live since 2023, it is a pure miners basket, tracking the companies that dig lithium out of the ground rather than the whole battery supply chain.

Worth knowing

  1. 01One commodity, one step in the chain. Roughly 40 miners tied to the lithium price tend to move as a pack, which makes for a bumpy ride.
  2. 02ILIT covers the same lithium-miners lane for 0.47%, and PICK spans global metals and mining for 0.39%. Several peers in this group review more strongly overall.
  3. 03A small fund with only moderate trading, and payouts come once or twice a year at most. Spreads and order type matter more here than in a mega-fund.
