How do the Basic Industries ETFs Work?

The basic industries ETFs simply pick and choose companies belonging to the large basic industries sector to invest the money. These investments may be based on a specialized market index that tracks the basic industry sector, or the ETF fund manager may deploy his own research to select the basic industry stocks for investments for the ETF money.
Also called as the Key Industries, these stocks span across a wide variety of instruments. Ranging from utilities like water, to natural resources like coal, metals and minerals, to any companies involved in offering services around these business segments - the basic industries sector has a wide array of companies. ETFs can prove to be a good choice for investing in a big basket of basic industry companies at a low cost. This article lists the major ETFs which qualify as most diversified. Investing through such ETFs allows one to avoid the stock-specific risk and take a low-cost approach to investing on a combined basket of diversified assets. However, the risk mitigation also comes with the drawback of getting average returns which is based on the average performance of the whole basket of assets.
