A simple way to gain exposure to the performance of a diversified portfolio of commodities in a single ASX trade.
OVERVIEW
Notice: QCB will be winding up on 8 December 2020.
BetaShares, the responsible entity of the Fund, has applied to the ASX for the trading status of the Fund to be revoked and for the Fund to be delisted. The ASX has approved this application. The last day units in the Fund will trade on the ASX will be 8 December 2020. For more information regarding key dates and options available to investors, please refer to the ASX announcement, or visit our information page.
Fund Objective
QCB aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) based on commodity futures that provides exposure to a wide range of commodities, hedged for currency movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate.
An investment in commodities futures or in a fund that tracks commodity futures is not the same as investing in the “spot” price of the commodity – performance may differ from the spot price.
Please note during Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time, trading hours for this Fund will be 11.00-16.00.
Benefits of QCB
Diversified exposure to commodities sectors
Gain exposure to all major commodities sectors, including energy, agriculture, precious metals, industrial metals and livestock, without having to trade in physical commodities or futures markets yourself.
Portfolio diversification
As commodities historically have shown a low correlation to other major asset classes, investing in QCB can help to diversify your portfolio.
Complement existing commodities exposure
QCB covers all major commodities sectors, but excludes coal and iron ore, which many investors may already have exposure to through BHP or RIO.How to Invest
- You can buy or sell units just like you’d buy or sell any share on the ASX.
- Fund requires no minimum investment.

Chart
Chart Type
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.
