The fund operates as an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) and focuses on providing investors with exposure to the commodities market. It aims to achieve its investment objectives by strategically investing in a diverse range of financial instruments that have economic ties to the most heavily traded commodities in the world. Commodities encompass a broad category of assets with tangible properties, such as crude oil, various agricultural products, and raw metals. This approach allows the fund to tap into the inherent value of these physical goods, which play a critical role in the global economy.
The fund's main product comprises carefully selected financial instruments that have strong economic connections to leading commodities. By investing in such instruments, the fund seeks to offer investors a unique opportunity to gain from the movements and trading dynamics of the commodities market, without the need for direct physical holdings of the commodities themselves.
As an actively managed ETF, the fund differentiates itself by not merely tracking a commodities index, but by employing professional management strategies. These strategies aim to outperform market benchmarks and indices through the selection of financial instruments that the fund's managers believe will best achieve the investment objectives, based on rigorous analysis of the commodities market.
