The fund includes stocks of companies involved in the production of fertilizers, agricultural chemicals and products, farm machinery and parts, or in packaged food and meats, as classified by GICS.

VEGI includes equities from both developed and emerging markets, with exposure to the whole market cap spectrum. It will invest at least 40% in issuers organized, located, or doing business outside the US. The fund is passively managed and the index is reviewed quarterly in February, May, August and November. Prior to Dec. 29, 2022, the fund was called iShares MSCI Global Agriculture Producers ETF.
