Our read on IGE

ETF.net Research

In short

AA 2001-vintage way to own the stuff the economy digs up and drills for: US and Canadian energy, metals, miners and timber in one market-cap-weighted basket, priced below the natural-resources average.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to follow an index representing North American equities in the natural-resources sector.

Why people hold it

  • Launched in October 2001, one of the longest-running natural-resources ETFs on the tape, with several full commodity cycles behind it.investing.com
  • 0.37% a year sits under the natural-resources cohort median of 0.41%, and well under GUNR's 0.47%.
  • About 150 names spanning oil and gas, metals and mining, and paper and forest products, so it reaches past the usual oil-major shortlist.investing.com
  • Plain index tracking from iShares, distributions paid quarterly, and one of the stronger builds in its natural-resources peer group.ishares.com

Worth knowing

  • North America only. GNR and GUNR cast a global net, which picks up large overseas miners this one leaves on the table.
  • Market-cap weighting hands the largest energy names the heaviest slots, and the basket rides the commodity cycle in both directions.
  • Mid-sized and moderately traded rather than a mega-liquid giant, so spreads deserve a look on larger orders.
