In short

HAP Metals, energy and farm goods in one global basket. HAP has held hard-asset producers since 2008, spreading across roughly 150 companies worldwide rather than betting on one commodity or one continent.

MGNR An 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.

Stated mandate

HAP The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vector Global Natural Resources Index, which covers global natural-resources companies involved in metals, energy sources, and agricultural products.

MGNR 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

  • HAP Global by mandate, not North America only like IGE or NANR: it holds producers of metals, energy sources and agricultural products around the world.
  • Launched in 2008, so the fund has run through a full commodity boom and bust, not just the last good stretch.
  • About 150 holdings across three resource groups, so no single miner, driller or grain house runs the show.
  • MGNR 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.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

  • HAP No price edge: the 0.41% fee lands exactly at the category median, and peers such as NANR (0.35%) and IGE (0.37%) charge less.
  • Thinly traded for its size, so spreads can run wider than in the category's busiest names.
  • Cash arrives once or twice a year, not quarterly or monthly.
  • MGNR 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.
