Sprott Copper Miners ETF

COPP

Market cap $179M

I recommend buying the Sprott Copper Miners ETF due to its superior risk-return profile versus peers. COPP offers high copper price sensitivity and concentration, with its top holding at 25.19% and top ten at 76.38%. Strong demand growth and persistent supply constraints underpin a robust bullish thesis for copper miners through 2030.

Sprott Copper Miners ETF delivered an 88% total return over the past year, driven by surging copper demand and portfolio appreciation. Long-term COPP catalysts include electrification, AI infrastructure, and persistent supply constraints, supporting a bullish outlook for COPP despite potential short-term pullbacks. COPP's diversified holdings, high turnover, and recent addition of a physical copper position make it a pure-play vehicle for copper's secular growth.

Gold and silver were not the only metals to see breakout performances in the later half of 2025.  Much like these other metals, copper also closed out last year in a highly favorable position.

Given gold's stratospheric rally last year, it might seem that ETF provider Sprott would see the most inflows in their funds related to the precious metal. However, after 2025 was said and done, it was the Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (SLVR) at the top spot with about $450 million inflows.

AI-driven demand and tight supply pushed copper above $12,000 a ton, setting the stage for diversified copper ETFs like COPX as a 2026 trade.

To say that 2025 proved to be a fruitful year for both metals and the miners who cultivate them would likely be an understatement.  For instance, gold and its miners have largely enjoyed a terrific run of late.

The Federal Reserve trimmed interest rates this week. As a response, many looked to invest in gold or even silver.

Gold prices hit an apex in October before taking a breather as 2025 winds down — a chance for investors to buy the dip. This could be a golden opportunity to get exposure to a pair of ETFs before another rally ensues: the Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) and the Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM).
