No Bestinvest rating


Overview of BGI COMMODITY TOTAL RETURN USD

This fund is designed to track the performance of the Goldman Sachs Commodity total return index, which is made up of 24 commodity sectors. It thus offers broad exposure to an asset class that historically has displayed negative correlation with equity and bond markets. Investors with large portfolios will therefore find it useful for improving overall portfolio diversification.

Investment process


This fund aims to achieve a return comparable to the total returns of the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI TR). To achieve this the portfolio invests in the 24 commodity futures contracts that make up the index. The fund does not trade physical commodities or take physical delivery of them. The commodity index derives its return from three sources: Spot return + Roll return + Cash collateral return.
To match the index returns and negate the impact of rolling and management costs the fund is managed in an efficient manner which looks to capture additional returns from the roll and cash collateral return.

The value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you can get back less than you originally invested. Past performance or any yields quoted should not be considered reliable indicators of future returns. Before investing in funds please check the specific risk factors on the key features document or refer to our risk warning notice as some funds can be high risk or complex; they may also have risks relating to the geographical area, industry sector and/or underlying assets in which they invest. Prevailing tax rates and relief are dependent on your individual circumstances and are subject to change.
