Our read on FTAG
CLive since 2010, FTAG owns the companies trying to squeeze more out of every acre: roughly 60 global stocks tied to improving agricultural yields, held as equities rather than grain futures.
FTAG seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield of the Indxx Global Agriculture Index. The index targets companies directly or indirectly engaged in improving agricultural yields.
Why people hold it
- An equity route into the farm theme. The index targets companies working to improve agricultural yields, so you hold operating businesses, not commodity futures contracts.ftportfolios.com
- Trading since 2010, a long live history for a single-theme fund, covering more than one full swing in the global farm cycle.
- A genuine basket, not a two-stock proxy: roughly 60 names, a global mandate by design, and distributions on a quarterly schedule.
Worth knowing
- At 0.70% a year, it prices above the typical fund in its global thematic peer group, where index-tracking rivals such as KLMT and IQSZ run far cheaper.
- A small asset base and light trading volume. Spreads tend to be wider than on mainstream funds, and larger orders take more care to fill.
- One narrow theme, concentrated in about 60 stocks. Returns track crop economics and farm spending far more closely than the broad global market.
