- FlexShares Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index Fund (GUNR) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks investment results corresponding generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Index. The fund provides exposure to global companies engaged in the ownership, management, and production of natural resources, with a focus on the upstream segments of energy, agriculture, precious and industrial metals, timber, and water resources; it holds approximately 167-225 equity securities, primarily large-cap stocks from developed and emerging markets, including top holdings such as Nutrien Ltd, Corteva Inc, Exxon Mobil Corp, BHP Group Ltd, and Shell plc, which together represent around 36% of assets. GUNR operates across diverse sectors like materials (approximately 51%), energy (31%), and consumer defensive, targeting investors seeking balanced participation in global natural resource demand driven by globalization and real assets; its portfolio emphasizes broad market/multi-cap exposure without environmental, social, or governance criteria or currency hedging. Launched on September 16, 2011, and issued by FlexShares, a brand of Northern Trust Investments, Incorporated, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.46% and total assets under management exceeding $5.3 billion as of late 2025. In recent developments, Northern Trust Asset Management announced plans in 2025 to rename its FlexShares ETFs, including GUNR, to Northern Trust ETFs effective in 2026, as part of a broader rebranding following the launch of 11 new fixed-income ETF suites under the Northern Trust ETFs brand in August 2025; this transition will not impact GUNR's investment process, portfolio managers, or operations. The fund continues quarterly dividend distributions, with the latest declaration of $0.349714 per share on September 19, 2025, reflecting a trailing twelve-month yield of approximately 2.97%, and maintains steady asset growth amid sector performance in materials and energy. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or product launches specific to GUNR were reported in the last 1-2 years, underscoring its stable, index-tracking strategy amid ongoing global resource demand.
