The Fund seeks to provides long-only, unlevered access to the commodity markets. Having historically displayed low correlation with equities and fixed income, commodities may deliver added diversification to a portfolio comprised of traditional asset classes.

The Fund is benchmarked to the Bloomberg Commodity Index, which offers liquid exposure to physical commodities via futures contracts . The diversified composition of the Index aims to produce an attractive risk-return profile over time while ensuring that no single commodity or sector dictates the investment.

As the price of goods and services increases, the price of the natural resources used to produce them is expected to increase too. An investment in the commodity markets may serve to hedge against the loss of purchasing power associated with rising inflation.
