Investment Thesis

+45% in the supercycle year with the manager free to lean into whichever commodity is running — the active alternative to fixed-weight DBC. The 14% headline yield is distribution accounting on futures gains, not an income promise; the total return is the story.

Who It's For

Commodity bulls who want tactical weighting decisions made for them and no K-1 at tax time.
