Etf Commodities Biography
One of the most well-known commodity indexes is the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index (formerly the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index). This index is well diversified among 19 commodities currently, with 30% energy, 29% metals and 41% agriculture.1 However, the only fund that tracks it—iPath Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index (DJP)—is an ETN, and worthy of caution due to its structure as a note.
The leading diversified commodity ETF by assets is PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (DBC), which tracks the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index-Optimum Yield. This index currently includes 14 commodities, with 53% energy, 21% metals and 26% agriculture. While the level of diversification is less than what the Dow Jones-UBS fund mentioned above offers, it is available in what we believe is the more favorable ETF structure. In addition, the index structure attempts to avoid the worst effects of contango to the degree that it can by selecting various dates of futures contracts.
Another well-known commodity index is the Standard and Poor's Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (S&P GSCI), which is tracked by both an ETF—iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust (GSG)—and an ETN, iPath S&P GSCI Total Return Index (GSP). This index presently tracks 24 commodities but is highly concentrated in energy, with 69% energy, 11% metals and 20% agriculture.
