Global Resource Investments is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprott Inc., a public natural resources investment manager listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The combination of the two firms has produced a powerful alliance for natural resource investors. We employ more than 130 professionals, and manage in excess of $8,000,000,000 in small capitalization resource investments. We believe that we are the largest investment house in the world that is focused on small capitalization natural resource stocks. Both organizations have enjoyed excellent reputations, and have generated excellent sector track records. The merged entity offers broad and deep expertise, and exceptional access to investment opportunities in all sectors of resources, from all corners of the globe.
Whether your interests are in mining, oil and gas, alternative energy, forestry, agriculture or water, you will find decades of experience at Global Resource Investments. In fact, many of our financial advisors worked in various natural resource industries before they began their financial services career, and that makes their advice much more valuable than the advice you might receive from a generalist stock broker at a mainstream brokerage firm, or an order-taking clerk at a discount brokerage. Our sole focus is helping investors and speculators like you make money in the natural resource business. We don’t waste any of our time on subjects that we are not acknowledged experts in; no tech stocks, no municipal bonds, no mortgage backed securities … we just do what we do best. We can help institutional investors, corporate investors and high net worth individuals.
You don’t have to take our word for it. Dozens of investment newsletters, several costing thousands of dollars per year, recommend our services to their paid subscribers. You will see many of their testimonials on this website. These are writers that most of you know, and that the rest of you should know; if you research them, you will see why their endorsements of us are so important to you.
You don’t have to take the letter writers’ word for it either. This website has numerous articles, interviews and educational materials that are valuable tools for natural resource-oriented investors and speculators, and demonstrate the expertise that our firm is noted for. New material on the News page will appear frequently at this website, so visit often or sign up to receive information as it becomes available.
What sets us apart from other brokerage firms is our team. Meet our brokers; their biographies are here on the website. Review these biographies and contact, by phone or email, those team members whose expertise YOU think is best suited to your needs. Feel free to contact several of us to determine with whom you might like to work. Test us, ask us questions about companies in your portfolio, or companies you are considering purchasing. We look forward to helping you. Our founder, Rick Rule, will personally analyze your natural resource investment portfolio, with unambiguous buy, sell, or hold suggestions, with absolutely no obligation on your part.
Now, let’s talk about you. If we are to succeed in helping you invest or speculate, there are some things we need to know. First off, are you an investor, or a speculator? We can help both but these are different disciplines. Many new clients describe themselves as conservative investors, and then proceed to question us about highly speculative exploration “penny stocks.” We are completely comfortable with speculators, but we insist that our speculative clients be financially and psychologically capable of taking sizable risk. Do not speculate to “make a killing” because you NEED the money. Speculation is not the way to put a child through college or save for retirement.
Are you a contrarian? Natural resource industries are capital intensive, and cyclical. Investors who participate in a resource sector that is currently popular are highly likely to be in an overpriced sector set to decline. Investors need to know that markets work. Bear markets beget bull markets and vice versa. We go so far as to say “in natural resource investing, you are either a contrarian, or a victim.” The good news is that the choice is yours, and we can help.
Are you patient? As an investor, your success in resource industries will be a function of understanding the industry cycles, and taking the time to let events that are inevitable, but not imminent, unfold. As a speculator, you are risking capital on a management’s ability to add value to a small enterprise, whether by exploration or some other method. Both the investment and the speculative processes take time, and many would-be participants (and many resource sector financial advisors) are too impatient to succeed. We have invested and speculated for decades, and we will try and help you develop the patience required in natural resources.
Are you curious? Your ability to make money in these markets is in some substantial measure, predicated on your ability to obtain and analyze information faster and more accurately than other market participants. With our extensive industry experience, we can be especially helpful here.
Look around this website. It is very straightforward. Read the articles and interviews. Review the educational material. Sign up for new information as it becomes available (it is distributed to clients before being posted or distributed to prospects). Decide if you are really interested in natural resources, whether you are an investor or a speculator (or both), whether you are a contrarian, and whether you are curious. Read the brokers’ biographies and, if you feel it is appropriate, contact us. We look forward to the opportunity to compete for your business.
