FCG Factset Analytics Insight
FCG is the only game in town for those looking to access the US natural gas equities. Fortunately, the fund does a great job of capturing the concentrated space, which isn't a surprise since it uses our benchmark. FCG selects from companies that are involved in natural gas in some capacity, dedicating 15% of its portfolio to MLPs and the remaining 85% to equities. It then applies linear cap-weighted rankings to each bucket, factoring in daily trading volume. The resulting portfolio is a near-perfect representation of the market. FCG trades heavily each day with miniscule spreads, and underlying liquidity is excellent. FCG charges a sizeable fee for its exposure, but it recovers some of that fee via securities lending and tracking is strong overall.
