L&G All Commodities

ETF description

This ETF is designed to offer investors exposure to a wide variety of commodities, including sectors such as energy, metals, and agriculture. It aims to provide diversification beyond traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds, allowing investors to gain access to raw materials that are essential to the global economy. By tracking a broad index of commodities, the fund gives investors the chance to benefit from changes in commodity prices, which can be influenced by factors like supply disruptions, geopolitical events, and shifts in demand.

The fund typically gains exposure to these commodities through futures contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell a specific asset at a predetermined price on a future date. This approach allows investors to participate in the commodities market without having to directly own physical assets.

This ETF may appeal to investors looking to diversify their portfolios with commodities, providing a potential hedge against inflation or volatility in traditional equity and bond markets.
