Offering exposure to a broad range of natural resource-related equities, the First Trust Indxx Global Natural Resources Income ETF is a great choice for investors who want to strengthen their portfolios with titanium but also hope to mitigate the risk of a downturn in the titanium market.

The titanium exposure in the ETF is primarily through its position in Rio Tinto -- the ETF's second-largest holding with an allocation of approximately 9.5%. Tracing its history back 150 years, Rio Tinto has emerged as one of the largest (by market capitalization) materials stocks available to investors.

In addition to mining stocks like Rio Tinto, the First Trust Indxx Global Natural Resources Income ETF has holdings in a diverse array of natural resource equities such as energy stocks, agricultural stocks, and water utility stocks. The ETF provides distributions quarterly and has a moderate expense ratio of 0.7%. At the end of the first quarter of 2023, the distribution represented a yield of more than 8.3%.
