Teucrium Corn Fund (CORNl)

Overview

The Benchmark functions within the commodities market, specializing in corn futures contracts. It operates by maintaining a weighted average of the closing settlement prices for three distinct futures contracts for corn, exclusively traded on the Chicago Board of Trade. This methodological approach to investment, focusing on corn futures, positions The Benchmark as a niche entity within the broader commodities trading sphere. The company’s investment strategy is tailored to mirror the performance of these contracts under the presumption of normal market conditions, directing all its assets towards investments in these futures contracts as well as in cash and cash equivalents.

Products and Services

• Benchmark Component Futures Contracts

  The core offering of The Benchmark revolves around investing in futures contracts for corn that form part of its benchmark. This entails a strategic selection of three futures contracts that are specifically traded on the Chicago Board of Trade, aiming to harness the value fluctuations in the corn market for potential returns. This service is designed for investors looking to capitalize on the agricultural commodities market, specifically within the corn futures sector.

• Cash and Cash Equivalents Investments

  Alongside futures contracts, The Benchmark allocates part of its assets into cash and cash equivalents. This dual-strategy approach not only aims to provide liquidity but also to mitigate risk by diversifying the investment portfolio. For investors, this means a balanced investment model that leverages the growth potential of the futures market while maintaining a buffer through more stable, liquid assets.
