Our read on FTRI
DPlenty of natural resources funds just own the biggest miners and drillers. FTRI's index is built around income from resource companies worldwide, roughly 60 of them, and it distributes quarterly. Trading since 2010.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Indxx Global Natural Resources Income Index.
Why people hold it
- Income sits in the mandate, not off to the side: it tracks the Indxx Global Natural Resources Income Index and pays on a quarterly schedule.ftportfolios.com
- Genuinely global reach. Two of the category's best-known funds, IGE and NANR, stop at North America.ftportfolios.com
- Live since 2010, so the strategy has traded through a full commodity cycle instead of launching into one.
Worth knowing
- At 0.70% a year it costs roughly double the category's index anchors, such as GNR at 0.40% and IGE at 0.37%.
- Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads can widen and limit orders carry more weight.
- An income-tilted basket of about 60 resource names leans on payouts that rise and fall with commodity prices, and it sits behind the cheaper, busier funds in the group.
