Our read on TURF
BAn active bet on the companies that dig, drill and develop. TURF keeps at least 80% of net assets in upstream natural-resource names, holds roughly 80 of them, and charges less than the typical global thematic fund.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It normally invests at least 80% of net assets in upstream natural-resource companies engaged in exploration, extraction, or development.
Why people hold it
- Active management at 0.44%, below the 0.56% median expense ratio for its global thematic peer group.
- The mandate is specific: at least 80% of net assets in upstream companies doing exploration, extraction or development, not the refiners and shippers further down the chain.
- Concentrated by design at roughly 80 holdings, with managers free to mix growth and value picks rather than mirror a commodity index.
- Rates as one of the stronger implementations in its global thematic cohort, helped by tight, orderly trading.
Worth knowing
- Launched in 2025, so the record is short and the risk read on it is still thin.
- Upstream resource stocks track commodity cycles closely, so the ride can be far bumpier than a broad equity fund.
- Income is not the point: capital appreciation is the stated goal, distributions are annual, and part of a payout can be return of capital.
