The FlexShares Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund (GUNR) tracks a diversified index of equity securities from developed and emerging market companies involved in the upstream portion of the natural resources supply chain. The fund maintains a mandate to invest at least 80% of its total assets in the underlying index constituents, which include direct equities as well as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs).
The upstream business model focuses specifically on the exploration and production stages of resource management, such as extracting crude oil, mining metals, or harvesting timber, rather than refining or retail distribution. This sector is characterized by high capital expenditure requirements and a direct correlation to raw commodity prices, often serving as a hedge against global inflation. Investors may find it useful to examine how these specific commodity weightings align with their portfolio goals on ValueRay.
