ETF.net Research

AGNGAGlobal X Aging Population ETF

ICOPBiShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF

In short

AGNG AGNG plays the one trend nobody needs a crystal ball for: people getting older. About 80 developed-market names in medical devices, pharma and senior living, wrapped around an aging-population index, for 0.50% a year.

ICOP The copper-miner aisle has a price leader. ICOP tracks a global index of copper and metals miners for 0.47% a year, the lowest sticker in its peer group, with BlackRock's indexing machinery behind it.

Stated mandate

AGNG The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Indxx Aging Population Thematic Index.

ICOP The Fund seeks to track an index of U.S. and non-U.S. equities of companies primarily engaged in copper and metal ore mining.

Why people hold it

  • AGNG One ticket on the demographics trade: roughly 80 developed-market companies tied to older consumers, tracking the Indxx Aging Population Thematic Index.globalxetfs.com
  • 0.50% a year, below the median fee in its global thematic peer group. Niche themes usually charge a premium for the privilege.
  • Running since 2016, so the theme has a long live record rather than a backtest and a pitch deck.
  • Portfolio construction and risk profile put it among the stronger builds in its global thematic peer group.
  • ICOP At 0.47% a year it is the cheapest fund in the copper-mining cohort, undercutting COPX (0.65%), COPP (0.66%), COPJ (0.75%) and KCOP (0.99%), and sitting below the group's 0.66% median.
  • A rules-based pure play: it follows the STOXX Global Copper and Metals Mining Index, holding companies primarily engaged in copper and metal ore mining. Miners' shares, not copper futures, and no stock-picking.ishares.com
  • Global by mandate, not by accident: the index reaches U.S. and non-U.S. miners, which is where much of the world's copper actually trades. Distributions are paid quarterly.ishares.com
  • One of the stronger builds in a small copper-mining field, pairing the lowest fee in the group with a mainstream iShares index wrapper.

Worth knowing

  • AGNG Thinly traded, so spreads can run wider than in mega-cap funds and how you place the order matters more.
  • One theme, tilted to healthcare and developed markets, so its path can look nothing like a broad global index.
  • Distributions arrive annually or semiannually, not monthly, and the asset base is modest by ETF standards.
  • ICOP Non-diversified by design: a few dozen miners levered to one metal, with the largest names carrying a big slice. Copper prices and mine-level news drive the ride.ishares.com
  • A large share of the basket is listed outside the U.S., so currency moves and foreign market risks come along with the copper exposure.ishares.com
  • It launched in 2023, so the live record is short, and trading is moderate rather than heavy. Limit orders earn their keep on bigger tickets.
