Its character
A single-sector fund built around mining and energy, dominated by the big diversified miners — BHP alone is a very large slice — with gold and oil-and-gas producers making up much of the rest.
What to keep in mind
Concentrated in one sector and heavily in a few giant miners, so it rises and falls with commodity prices and can swing harder than a broad market fund. A weak patch for mining or energy hits it directly.
How this fund relates to others
Materials and energy are big parts of broad Australian funds like A200, IOZ and VAS, so QRE's miners — especially BHP and Rio Tinto — overlap heavily with the top of those funds, just concentrated into that one slice.
