Our read on HAP
BMetals, energy and farm goods in one global basket. HAP has held hard-asset producers since 2008, spreading across roughly 150 companies worldwide rather than betting on one commodity or one continent.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vector Global Natural Resources Index, which covers global natural-resources companies involved in metals, energy sources, and agricultural products.
Why people hold it
- Global by mandate, not North America only like IGE or NANR: it holds producers of metals, energy sources and agricultural products around the world.
- Launched in 2008, so the fund has run through a full commodity boom and bust, not just the last good stretch.
- About 150 holdings across three resource groups, so no single miner, driller or grain house runs the show.
Worth knowing
- No price edge: the 0.41% fee lands exactly at the category median, and peers such as NANR (0.35%) and IGE (0.37%) charge less.
- Thinly traded for its size, so spreads can run wider than in the category's busiest names.
- Cash arrives once or twice a year, not quarterly or monthly.
