IGEAiShares North American Natural Resources ETF

NANRAState Street SPDR S&P North American Natural Resources ETF

In short

IGE A 2001-vintage way to own the stuff the economy digs up and drills for: US and Canadian energy, metals, miners and timber in one market-cap-weighted basket, priced below the natural-resources average.

NANR Natural resources without the passport: roughly 200 large and mid cap US and Canadian energy, mining and agriculture names in one basket, for 0.35% a year.

Stated mandate

IGE The fund seeks to follow an index representing North American equities in the natural-resources sector.

NANR The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the S&P BMI North American Natural Resources Index. It targets large- and mid-cap publicly traded U.S. and Canadian companies in energy, metals and mining, and agriculture-related natural-resources businesses.

Why people hold it

  • IGE Launched in October 2001, one of the longest-running natural-resources ETFs on the tape, with several full commodity cycles behind it.investing.com
  • 0.37% a year sits under the natural-resources cohort median of 0.41%, and well under GUNR's 0.47%.
  • About 150 names spanning oil and gas, metals and mining, and paper and forest products, so it reaches past the usual oil-major shortlist.investing.com
  • Plain index tracking from iShares, distributions paid quarterly, and one of the stronger builds in its natural-resources peer group.ishares.com
  • NANR At 0.35% a year, it undercuts its natural-resources peers, including IGE at 0.37% and State Street's own global version, GNR, at 0.40%.
  • Three commodity engines, not one. Energy, metals and mining, and agriculture-linked businesses sit in the same basket, so it isn't a pure oil bet.
  • North America only: large and mid cap US and Canadian producers, no emerging-market miners or state-linked oil majors.
  • Index-tracking since 2015, and one of the stronger builds in its natural-resources cohort.

Worth knowing

  • IGE North America only. GNR and GUNR cast a global net, which picks up large overseas miners this one leaves on the table.
  • Market-cap weighting hands the largest energy names the heaviest slots, and the basket rides the commodity cycle in both directions.
  • Mid-sized and moderately traded rather than a mega-liquid giant, so spreads deserve a look on larger orders.
  • NANR Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads can be wider and big orders can move the price.
  • Commodity cycles drive it. A basket parked in energy and materials swings harder than a broad market index.
  • Cash comes once or twice a year, not quarterly, and the Canadian sleeve adds a currency layer.
