Materials ETFs are exchange-traded funds that invest in companies involved in producing and distributing raw materials such as precious metals, chemicals, and forest products. These ETFs aim to provide exposure to the performance of the materials sector and provide diversification to an investment portfolio. The holdings in these ETFs may include mining companies, commodity producers, and manufacturers of basic materials. Investing in materials ETFs can be a way to gain exposure to the global economy's performance, as the demand for raw materials can be tied to economic growth.
