The fund's investment focus
DNB Critical Materials provides exposure to companies involved in the production, processing and mining of critical materials. In this context critical materials refer to metals and minerals that are scarce and that have strategic importance for long-term socio-economic value creation, energy security, financial resilience and stable supply chains.
The fund is suited to investors seeking long-term real returns, diversification from traditional equity markets and exposure to structural trends such as energy transition, electrification, geopolitical raw material security and inflation hedging. The fund is in line with DNB's Group instructions for responsible Investments.

- precious metals such as gold and silver.
- industrial metals such as copper, iron ore and aluminium.
- battery and energy metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and uranium.
Historical returns are no guarantee of future returns. Future returns will depend, among other things, on market developments, the skill of the Portfolio Manager, the mutual fund's risk, and the management costs. Returns may be negative as a result of mark-to-market losses.
