New ETF on Xetra: Diversified commodity investment with roll optimisation

WisdomTree provides exposure to a broad basket of commodities and metals other than agricultural, weighted by expected role effects.

12 July 2021. FRANKFURT (Deutsche Börse). Since Monday, a new exchange traded fund of the issuer WisdomTree is tradable via Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.

The WisdomTree Enhanced Commodity ex-Agriculture UCITS ETF enables investors to invest in a basket of different futures on energy commodities, precious metals and industrial metals, which each make up one third of the total portfolio. In addition to oil and gas, gold, silver, palladium, zinc, aluminium and copper are among the commodities covered. The agricultural and livestock sectors are excluded.

In order to optimise rolling profits, commodities with a higher probability of backwardation are overweighted. Backwardation is when future futures contracts are cheaper than the contract currently expiring. 

The product offering in Deutsche Börse's XTF segment currently comprises a total of 1,668 ETFs. With this selection and an average monthly trading volume of around €17 billion, Xetra is the leading trading venue for ETFs in Europe.
