Its character
A single-sector fund built around Australian resources: miners and energy producers like BHP, Rio Tinto and Woodside. Its returns are tied closely to commodity prices, which can be very volatile.
What to keep in mind
A concentrated, single-sector fund whose value swings with global commodity prices — it can rise sharply in a resources boom and fall just as hard in a bust. All-Australian, at around 35 holdings.
Income
Distributions can carry franking credits from the Australian resource companies it holds.
