Last updated July 2026

Short answer

URNJ's approximate ~3% yield (as of mid-2026) makes it an income-oriented fund. It tracks Nasdaq Sprott Junior Uranium Miners Index and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 0.80% expense ratio. If income is your goal, URNJ earns its place as a yield-paying core holding. If total return is the goal, the yield matters less than cost and what it holds.
