The short version

John Wilson is listed as an executive officer and director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Apr 2016 and Oct 2025: Ninepoint Energy Fund (Toronto, Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6) — pooled investment fund — 2022–2025; $253.9M reported sold to 5 investors), SPROTT PRIVET FUND, L.P. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada (federal level) (as filed: Z4) — pooled investment fund — 2016–2017; $115.5M reported sold to 137 investors) and Sprott Privet Fund, LLC (Toronto, Ontario, Canada (federal level) (as filed: Z4) — pooled investment fund — 2016–2017; $1M reported sold to 41 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $370.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Kirstin McTaggart (7 shared filings), SAMGENPAR, Ltd. (4 shared filings, management entity), Sprott Asset Management Inc. (4 shared filings, management entity), Eric Nuttal (3 shared filings), James Robert Fox (3 shared filings) and 3 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around John. Each name links to their own page.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Sprott (9 issuers, $626.3M reported sold, 2009–2018) and Ninepoint (2 issuers, $255.2M reported sold, 2020–2025).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 SEC releases listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 2 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
