What is an ETF?

ETFs, also known as trackers, are funds that follow the performance of an index, commodity, bond or composition of products. Unlike some other funds, ETFs are bought and sold on a stock exchange. Would you like to learn more about ETFs? Read our ETF article for all you need to know.

Commodities

According to the ‘stock market definition’, a commodity is the raw material used to create products or goods. To be tradable on an exchange, a commodity must be exchangeable for another commodity of the same type or grade.

Another important characteristic of commodities is that the supply is limited. This means that the price is determined by the supply and demand of it. For example, if oil is very scarce, the price will rise. However, when more oil becomes available, oil can be purchased at a lower price.

Trading commodities has a different dynamic compared to trading shares of companies. A company may go bankrupt, for example, but commodities almost always remain available to some extent.

From copper and platinum, to cotton, soy, coffee, wheat, cocoa and oil: they can all be found in commodity ETFs.

Why invest in commodity ETFs?

Investing in commodity ETFs means you are investing in the foundation of the global economy. Without commodities like oil, iron ore or wheat, transportation, construction and (animal) food production are virtually impossible in the world as we know it today.

The specialised commodity trade really took off with the industrial revolution. Worldwide, there were places where oil, grain, coffee or other commodities were offered. Eventually, commodity trading was digitised, so now trade is lightning fast and continuous. Before a shipment of commodities gets to the manufacturer for further processing, it may have changed hands several times.

With ETFs, you almost always invest in a fund that invests in derivatives on commodities. So, they don’t include the physical commodity, except for some gold ETFs that actually have gold bars in a vault. Ultimately, even ETFs that invest in derivatives are all about the value of physical commodities. The scarcity of commodities means that commodity prices are driven by supply and demand and thus determine the price of the ETF.

Commodity trading is often complex; any price fluctuations are difficult to predict. However, with a commodity ETF, you often invest in multiple derivatives or commodity-related companies at the same time. That means you spread the risk. Because of the spread, fluctuations in individual commodity prices have less impact on the price of the overall commodity ETF. Therefore, investments in commodity ETFs are often seen as a more stable investment.

Commodity FAQs

What is the largest commodity index?

The largest commodity index is the S&P GSCI (Goldman Sachs Commodity Index). It’s a widely recognised benchmark that tracks the performance of a diverse range of commodities across various sectors, including energy, agriculture and metals. It’s managed by S&P Dow Jones Indices and the index consists of 24 commodities.

What are the main risks of investing in commodities?

The main risks of investing in commodities include price volatility, geopolitical factors, supply and demand dynamics and currency fluctuations. Commodities markets can be highly sensitive to global events and economic conditions, making them subject to sudden price swings. Additionally, commodities are often influenced by factors such as weather conditions, government policies and technological advancements, which can impact their supply and demand dynamics.

How to invest in commodities for beginners?

There are several ways to invest in commodities for beginners. One option is to invest in commodity-focused ETFs or mutual funds that provide exposure to a basket of commodities. Another approach is to trade commodity futures contracts, although this requires more knowledge and experience. Additionally, some individuals may consider investing in commodity-related stocks or purchasing physical commodities like gold or silver. It is important to thoroughly research and understand the specific risks and characteristics of the commodities you are considering investing in.
