The fund offers broad exposure to the US basic materials segment thanks to a highly representative market cap-weighted index. The fund holds materials companies, stretching across multiple sub-industries from the broadly defined space. The underlying index uses GICS classification to include companies that manufacture chemicals, construction materials, glass, paper, forest products, and packaging products, as well as metals, minerals, and mining companies. Certain investment limits are applied for RICs to help ensure diversification. The index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
