Description

This ETF is designed to mirror the performance of the Bloomberg ex-Agriculture & Livestock 15/30 Capped 3 Month Forward Index. This index offers exposure to a diversified portfolio of more than ten commodities, specifically drawn from the Energy, Precious Metals, and Industrial Metals sectors. It purposefully excludes commodities belonging to the Softs, Livestock, and Grains categories. The individual commodity weightings are determined and updated annually by Bloomberg, based on their market liquidity and economic relevance. A distinguishing feature of this index is its '3 Month Forward' approach, meaning it incorporates commodity futures contracts with expiration dates that are three months further into the future compared to those in the standard Bloomberg Commodity Index. Additionally, the index employs a capping mechanism to ensure full compliance with UCITS directives and strictly avoids any futures linked to agriculture or livestock. Comprehensive details about the index's construction, selection criteria, and weighting methodology can be found on Bloomberg's official website.
