John Feneck
Founder, Feneck Consulting
John Feneck is the founder and CEO of Feneck Consulting Group, which he started in 2019 to provide consulting and brand-awareness services to small and mid-cap mining and energy companies. The firm also publishes the subscription Feneck Commodities Report. He began his career in 1992 as an equity analyst on the Merrill Lynch Global Allocation Fund and from 1993 to 2019 worked in sales for mutual fund and ETF providers, including the fund businesses of Merrill Lynch (now part of BlackRock) and JPMorgan Chase; in 2017 he was part of Sprott's precious-metals portfolio management team. He has contributed articles to Kitco since 2017 and speaks at resource investment conferences. In 2022 he and the firm consented to an Arizona Corporation Commission order that found they had given investment advice without a license and had not disclosed to some clients the consulting fees and stock options they received from mining and energy companies they recommended; they admitted the findings only for that proceeding, and the order required $676,901 in restitution and a $25,000 penalty. His work focuses on gold, silver and junior mining companies.
