AI Analysis · Q2 2026

Sprott Physical Gold Trust was Pekin Hardy Strauss's single largest position last quarter at $142.6 million — 13.18% of the entire $1.08 billion book, more than six times the size of the next-biggest holding. This quarter, that position is gone completely, a full $142.6 million liquidation. It wasn't an isolated move: two sibling Sprott metals vehicles were also slashed (PSLV -59.5% shares, CEF -62.7% shares), alongside real cuts to Agnico Eagle (-42.7%), VanEck Gold Miners ETF (-29.2%), Alamos Gold (-24.9%), and two more metals-linked ETFs — a systematic retreat from precious metals across seven separate vehicles that helped drag total AUM down 11.5% to $957 million. The freed capital scattered into small new positions rather than one clear replacement theme: a T-bill ETF, an energy-sector ETF, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Chevron among them.

Not an isolated sale — a systematic metals retreat

The Sprott Physical Gold Trust exit wasn't a one-off. Two sibling Sprott vehicles were cut hard in the same quarter: Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) fell 59.5% in share count, a real $13.4 million outflow, and Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (CEF) dropped 62.7%, another real $13.4 million outflow. Beyond the Sprott family, the retreat extended across the rest of the metals complex: Agnico Eagle Mines shares fell 42.7% ($7.1 million real outflow), the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) fell 29.2% ($5.8 million real outflow), Alamos Gold fell 24.9% ($3.1 million real outflow), the VanEck Merk Gold ETF (OUNZ) fell 18.5% ($2.7 million real outflow), and the Abrdn Platinum ETF fell 20.1% ($2.3 million real outflow). Seven separate metals-linked vehicles, all cut in the same reporting period — this reads as a single coordinated decision, not scattered profit-taking.
