Edelman Adds Natural Resources SPDR
Fairfax, Va.-based Edelman Financial Services has added the SPDR S&P North American Natural Resources ETF (ticker: NANR) to most of its client portfolios.

NANR tracks the S&P BMI North American Natural Resources Index, which allocates 45% to energy, 35% to materials and 20% to agriculture. Its expense ratio is 35 basis points.
