Natural Resources ETFs and funds invest in companies across the commodity and resource value chain — including energy, metals and mining, agriculture, and forestry producers — offering diversified exposure to firms that extract, process, and supply raw materials. They provide a way to participate in commodity-driven growth and can serve as a hedge against inflation, with performance tied to global demand for natural resources and commodity price cycles.
