The GMO Resources Strategy seeks to generate total return by investing in equities in the natural resources sector. The Strategy’s benchmark is the MSCI All Country World Commodities Index.
GMO’s Focused Equity team believes that the increasing demand for natural resources, driven primarily by population growth in and industrialization of emerging markets, coupled with the limited supply of these resources, favors an upward trend in resource prices over time. The Strategy seeks to invest in the securities of companies that we believe will benefit from this expected long-term rise in natural resource prices.
In the latest quarterly update, GMO’s Focused Equity team reviews Strategy performance over the prior quarter, current positioning, and our outlook moving forward.
Risks associated with investing in the Strategy may include Focused Investment Risk, Commodities Risk, Market Risk - Equities, Management and Operational Risk, and Non-U.S. Investment Risk.
