The fund provides exposure to the global agriculture space. The fund holds stocks of companies involved in each phase of commodity production. Such companies include those generating revenue from fertilizers, agricultural chemicals and products, farm machinery and parts, or in packaged food and meats as classified by GICS. The fund includes equities from both developed and emerging markets, with exposure to the whole market cap spectrum. The selection process considers a number of factor rankings, including balance sheet ratios, earnings, growth rates, price momentum, profitability ratios, valuation ratios, and other qualitative factors. An optimizer is used to calculate the appropriate weighting for the underlying holdings. The index is rebalanced quarterly.
