Euro Pacific Asset Management

What Euro Pacific Asset Management does

Euro Pacific Asset Management is an independent, privately-held US-registered investment advisor founded in 2009 and headquartered in Dorado, Puerto Rico. The firm manages five actively managed mutual funds — EuroPac International Value Fund, EuroPac International Dividend Income Fund, EuroPac International Bond Fund, EuroPac Gold Fund, and EP Emerging Markets Fund — plus separately managed accounts and sub-advisory mandates accessed through the EuroPac.com wealth platform. The firm's investment approach is bottom-up and value-oriented, deliberately not tracking any benchmark or peer group in pursuit of lower correlation to mainstream portfolios, with the Gold Fund specifically overweighting royalty businesses and smaller producers rather than the large majors that dominate gold ETFs.

The firm generates revenue through recurring management fees on its AUM across the mutual fund complex and separately managed accounts, with a fee structure that scales upward as account value grows. Distribution operates through two primary channels: a direct-to-investor platform (EuroPac.com) for individuals seeking international diversification and wealth management services, and an Advisor Program targeting financial advisors, RIAs, and wealth managers that offers portfolio manager access and direct engagement with Chief Economist & Global Strategist Peter Schiff for top-tier clients. The Puerto Rico domicile provides Act 20 tax incentives, and fund administration is outsourced to UMB Fund Services. The firm is led by Managing Member Jim Nelson, CFA (since founding) and Peter Schiff (Chief Economist & Global Strategist), supported by a small investment team of 11-50 employees with extensive long-tenured experience in global and resource investing.

Revenue model

1. Mutual Fund Management Fees: Euro Pacific Asset Management generates revenue through management fees charged on its five actively managed US-registered mutual funds: EuroPac International Value Fund, EuroPac International Dividend Income Fund, EuroPac International Bond Fund, EuroPac Gold Fund, and EP Emerging Markets Fund. All funds are distinct in that they do not track any particular benchmark, leading to returns that tend to be less correlated with peer groups.
2. Separately Managed Accounts: The firm offers separately managed accounts and can serve as a sub-advisor to separately managed accounts. These are fee-based programs where fees increase as account value grows, aligning firm and client interests.
