Overview
The fund is an investment vehicle that specifically targets the natural resources and commodities sectors within the North American market, focusing particularly on the United States and Canada. It prioritizes investments in large- and mid-capitalization companies that are publicly traded and operate within three main natural resources categories: energy, metals & mining, or agriculture. These companies are selected based on their ability to meet certain investment criteria and their classification within the specified subindustries. A significant characteristic of this fund is its commitment to invest at least 80% of its total assets directly in the securities that make up the index it tracks, ensuring that its investment strategy closely aligns with the index's performance. It is important to note, however, that the fund operates with a non-diversified status, meaning it may invest more heavily in fewer securities, potentially increasing volatility and risk.
