The Sprott Lithium Miners ETF (LITP) offers a dedicated investment vehicle for companies operating within the global lithium industry. It aims to facilitate the transition to a less carbon-intensive economy by providing focused exposure to this critical sector. The fund invests in a concentrated portfolio of 40-50 U.S. and international firms. These companies are primarily engaged in the mining, exploration, development, or production of lithium, or derive at least 50% of their revenue from such activities. Inclusion in the ETF is determined through a proprietary selection methodology, which integrates comprehensive industry publication analysis with thorough fundamental research. All qualifying securities must meet specific minimum market capitalization and liquidity criteria before becoming constituents. An intensity score is assigned to each company, reflecting the percentage of its revenue attributed to lithium operations. While the index is primarily weighted by market capitalization, specific capping rules are applied to initial allocations to ensure a well-diversified portfolio. The index undergoes semi-annual reconstitution and rebalancing, typically occurring in June and December. ### What is the expense ratio of LITP?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.65% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year. The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick. The typical result for a 1.0% expense ratio on a 30-year hold is roughly 25% of the final balance lost to fees. ### How does LITP charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from LITP's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees. There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does LITP cost more than a fund like VOO? LITP's strategy (current expense ratio 0.65%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort. The Cost Verdict card above shows you where LITP sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to LITP? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as LITP (0.65%) but at a lower expense ratio. Each row shows the fee gap, the peer's AUM as a liquidity sanity-check, and a direct link to that fund's analysis page. Cheaper price doesn't automatically mean better.
