Our read on MGNR
DAn actively run slice of the companies that dig, drill and grow the world's raw materials, launched in 2024. Its peer group is stuffed with cheap broad-market core funds; this one is the specialist picking resource stocks by hand.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and invests primarily in equity securities of companies engaged in natural resources and related businesses.
Why people hold it
- Stock picking, not index following: the managers hunt for long-term capital appreciation in natural-resources equities and can lean wherever they see value in the complex.
- A rule keeps it honest: at least 80% of net assets must sit in natural-resources and resources-related equities, so the theme can't quietly drift into something else.finance.yahoo.com
- Real traction for a niche 2024 launch: assets in the hundreds of millions and moderate daily volume, not one of those thinly traded oddities.
- Pays quarterly, and among active US equity ETFs it lands in the upper half of the pack on our review.
Worth knowing
- Specialist pricing: 0.75% a year is above the typical active US equity ETF and several times what core peers such as DFAU (0.12%) or AVLC (0.15%) charge.
- One theme, one cycle. Resource equities track commodity prices, which move in bigger swings than a diversified core portfolio.
- Young fund: it opened in 2024, so its risk record covers a short stretch rather than a full commodity cycle.
