An investment resistant to inflation, GNR ETFThe SPDR® S&P® Global Natural Resources ETF (GNR) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the S&P® Global Natural Resources Index. The index is composed of three sub indices, the S&P Global Natural Resources - Agriculture Index, the S&P Global Natural Resources -Energy Index and the S&P Global Natural Resources - Metals and Mining Index. Each index has a 1/3 weighting and provides excellent exposure to a number of the largest market cap securities in three natural resources sectors - agriculture, energy, and metals and mining.
During times of high inflation, which we are no doubt currently experiencing producers/miners/growers of natural resources are excellent businesses to invest in as they have the ability to easily match prices to inflation and push them downstream to consumers. In addition the procurement and sale of natural resources is a capital intensive business whether that be mining, farming, or drilling for oil. This makes it harder for competitors to steal market share from the large established companies that comprise the GNR ETF. This diversified global ETF is an easy and effective way to gain exposure to businesses that should be less affected by a high inflationary environment.
