Our read on PICK

ETF.net Research

CThe miners fund that deliberately leaves out the gold. PICK tracks an index of roughly 300 global metals and mining producers with gold and silver names screened out, for 0.39% a year.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index of global companies primarily engaged in mining, extracting, or producing diversified metals and industrial materials, while excluding gold and silver.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Costs 0.39% a year against a 0.65% median in its critical-materials peer group, undercutting REMX, EART and SETM.
  2. 02The index rule is the whole point: diversified metals and industrial materials producers in, gold and silver out. A cleaner read on industrial demand than a mixed miners basket.ishares.com
  3. 03About 300 holdings across global markets, so no single mine, country or commodity carries the fund.
  4. 04Trading since 2012 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund. One of the most established ways to own the group.

Worth knowing

  1. 01One sector, one cycle. Miner earnings ride metal prices, which means sharp moves in both directions.
  2. 02No gold or silver producers by design, so it doesn't double as a precious-metals sleeve.
  3. 03Distributions arrive annually or semiannually, not monthly, and a global book brings non-US currency exposure.
