Inflation Hedge
Rising global populations and increasing demand for food create structural growth opportunities.
Agricultural ETFs provide exposure to essential commodities like corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar.
Defer the Gains.
Offer a Founding Stake.
During BIGT’s formation, qualifying investors can use a one-time Section 351 exchange to contribute an appreciated, diversified basket of securities in exchange for ETF shares. The exchange is intended to defer unrealized gains when the Section 351 requirements are met.
The client's basis generally carries into the shares, and tax may apply later if they sell. Founding participants help seed the fund at the very start.
Structural Forces Beyond the Near Term
While near-term economic growth remains uneven, several long-term forces continue to influence commodity demand:
- Electrification, data infrastructure, and industrial modernization are increasing demand for certain metals
- Central banks remain active participants in precious metals markets
- Food and agricultural systems remain essential regardless of economic cycle
Explore how these forces interact with current supply conditions and why a more selective approach may be relevant relative to broad exposure.

The Risks to Consider

Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects investment decisions that the Adviser makes for the Fund.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision.
Geographic Concentration Risk. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that region.
Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.
ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. ETFs are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying strategy of the fund. For a complete description of the Fund’s principal investment risks, please refer to the prospectus.
A Section 351 exchange is intended to defer, rather than eliminate, recognition of capital gains. Eligibility and tax treatment depend on the investor, the securities contributed, the transaction structure and the satisfaction of Section 351 requirements. Consult your own tax and legal advisors.
