iShares Agribusiness

ETF description

This ETF is designed to provide investors with exposure to companies involved in the agribusiness sector. It includes firms that engage in various aspects of agriculture, such as farming, production of agricultural products, distribution, and the supply of agricultural equipment and services. By investing in this ETF, the value is tied to the performance of these agribusiness companies, which can be influenced by factors like crop yields, commodity prices, and global food demand.

Investors who are interested in the agricultural industry but prefer not to invest directly in individual companies might find this ETF appealing.
