About this ETF
This exchange-traded fund aims to mirror the financial performance of a reference index that gauges the returns of corporations operating in the basic materials industry. It operates with a passive management approach, primarily by fully replicating the index's portfolio; however, a sampling method may be used if necessitated by regulatory or practical limitations. The fund's investments include stocks of companies engaged in the extraction or initial processing of raw resources.
