This fund basically has no limitation on what kind of resources and company to invest in. It can invest in a wide range of types of companies such as resource discovering, extraction, distribution company or even their service providers. This fund also has no limitation on the type of resources (mineral, oil, water, matel, renewable energyetc), so the fund manager has more flexibility to choose a better stock.
Natural resources is a hit market now and you benefit from the uptrend now with a good profit, however, the risk is high since you should know commerical goods' price always jump up and down real quick. To catch the low price is not easy.
On the other hand, there are also some potential markets which can provide good return in the near future. For example Developed Europe, Asian Property and Latin America. Therefore, if you have 300k, I would suggest to use maybe 2/3 of your capital to buy the direct fund (perhaps the First State Fund you mentioned), and set up a portfolio using monthly investment which is lower risk. SO you can keep your cash flow and enjoy the short term uptrend of the natural resources' price to maximize the profit. On the other hand you can aenjoy the potential of other markets to balance your risk.
This is just my suggestion because I work in the industry, so if you need more information about the funds or the benefit of monthly investment, you can PM me
