OBJECTIVE
Provide investors with a simple way to gain exposure to the performance of a broad basket of commodities, with a currency hedge against movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate.
OVERVIEW
About
Provides exposure to the performance of a highly diversified basket of commodities, through a single trade on the ASX
- Includes energy, agriculture, industrial metals, livestock and precious metals
- No exposure to coal and iron ore (unlike BHP and RIO) – good way to diversify beyond these widely held commodities
- Includes a currency hedge against movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate
- Aims to track the performance of an index which is based on commodity futures

Advantages
- Access – performance of a broad basket of commodities as simply as buying a share
- Convenience – investors avoid complications and costs of directly buying futures or physical commodities
- Reduced currency risk – commodities globally are priced in U.S dollars; the Fund’s U.S dollar exposure is hedged to the Australian dollar
- 100% backed by cash held by third party custodian
- Portfolio diversification – commodities historically have low correlation to other asset classes
- Liquidity – available to trade on ASX like any share
How to Invest

Chart
Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
