New commodity ETF from L & G on Xetra: access to the broad commodities sector via futures contracts excluding agriculture and livestock
Since Thursday, a new exchange-traded fund issued by Legal & General Investment Management has been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
The L&G Multi-Strategy Enhanced Commodities ex-Agriculture & Livestock UCITS ETF offers investors access to the performance of a basket of commodities from the energy, industrial and precious metals sectors via futures contracts with different maturity dates. The agricultural and live cattle sector is not included.
The ETF is fully collateralised. As futures contracts have a limited maturity, they are usually closed before expiry and rolled over into a new contract with a later maturity. Depending on whether the futures contract purchased is cheaper or more expensive than the futures contract sold, roll gains or roll losses are realised.
