Description

The Parametric Commodity Strategy Fund primarily allocates its capital to derivative instruments whose value is tied to commodities. These commodity-related holdings are underpinned by an underlying portfolio of fixed-income securities. This debt portfolio primarily consists of U.S. Treasury securities and short-term money market instruments. While the average duration of these fixed-income assets may fluctuate, it is generally expected to remain under one year in typical market environments. The types of commodity-linked derivatives the fund employs include commodity index-linked swap agreements, futures contracts, and commodity-indexed notes.
