Investment Executive, Sprott Wealth Management
John Barker is an Investment Executive at Sprott Wealth Management and has been advising clients since 2016. He joined Sprott after completing a master’s degree in Austrian Economics at George Mason University and spending a year at Euro Pacific Capital. Drawn to Sprott through his long-standing interest in the work of Rick Rule and its community of like-minded investors, John found a natural alignment with the firm’s philosophy and approach. Mr. Barker's investment approach is grounded in Austrian economic principles and value investing. He focuses on helping clients prepare for a range of potential market outcomes rather than making short-term predictions. He is particularly drawn to gold and mining equities, viewing them as a natural extension of his macroeconomic perspective. Recognizing the inherent volatility of the mining sector, he seeks to identify opportunities created by market dislocations and cyclical downturns. Originally from New Hampshire, Mr. Barker resides in Carlsbad, California, and has lived in five countries and is fluent in Spanish. He holds FINRA Series 7, 63, 65 and 55 licenses.
