New L&G ETF on Xetra: access to diversified commodity portfolio with optimised roll mechanism
September 23, 2021--Since Thursday, a new exchange traded fund issued by Legal & General Investment Management is tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The L&G Multi-Strategy Enhanced Commodities UCITS ETF-Acc offers investors access to the performance of a diversified commodity portfolio consisting of futures contracts in the following sectors: precious and industrial metals, energy, agriculture, and livestock.
The index invests in the corresponding commodity futures with different maturities of up to one year. When the respective futures contracts are changed, the so-called "rolling", rolling losses may occur. An optimised roll mechanism is used, to keep the potential losses resulting from contracts in contango markets low and to maximise the potential gains from contracts in backwardation markets.
Backwardation describes a situation where the spot price of a commodity is higher than the futures price. In contango, the futures price of a commodity is higher than the spot price. Contango usually occurs when the price of a commodity is expected to rise over time. This results in a rising futures curve.
