abrdn Future Raw Materials UCITS ETF

ETF description

This ETF invests in global companies aligned with the future raw materials theme, aiming to benefit from long‑term demand for the materials needed to support industrial development, technological change, defence capability, infrastructure investment and the energy transition. The fund focuses on companies involved in areas such as exploration, mining, processing, refining and supplying raw materials that may be critical to future economic and strategic needs.

Investors who believe demand for critical minerals, industrial metals and other raw materials will grow as economies invest in electrification, renewable energy, infrastructure, technology independence and supply chain security may find this ETF appealing. As a thematic natural resources equity fund, it may be more volatile than a broad global equity tracker and can be sensitive to commodity cycles, regulation, geopolitical developments, environmental risks, and changes in global demand for raw materials.

Index details

The fund is actively managed, so it does not seek to replicate an index in the same way as a passive ETF. Its objective is to generate long‑term growth by investing primarily in companies aligned with the Future Raw Materials Theme. The MSCI AC World Net Index in USD is used as a broad global equity comparator, rather than as a benchmark for portfolio construction or risk management.
