Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) and Source are pleased to announce the launch of the LGIM Commodity Composite Source ETF. The fund, which tracks the LGIM Commodity Composite Index, is designed to offer high quality, diversified exposure to commodities in a UCITS-compliant ETF. <\/p>\n
The LGIM Commodity Composite Index aims to be a new kind of benchmark for broad-based commodity exposure. Using LGIM\u2019s expertise as an index manager, and an in-depth quantitative and qualitative screening process, it offers exposure to a selection of \u2018best of breed\u2019 commodity indices.<\/p>\n
Graeme Dewar, Head of Strategy Implementation at LGIM, said \u201cWe are seeing increasing demand from pension clients looking for access to this asset class. Their primary requirements are for an efficient, dynamic product with diversification of counterparty risk. Our solution has been to develop an innovative type of benchmark index that includes a minimum of three constituent sub-indices. These sub-indices are selected using LGIM\u2019s experience and core skill set to deliver a high quality, dynamic commodity composite index.\u201d<\/em> The index at launch comprises four sub-indices and will be reviewed at least annually to ensure that it captures developments in commodity indexation.<\/p>\n Investors wishing to gain exposure to the LGIM Commodity Composite Index can do so via the LGIM Commodity Composite Source ETF. Source\u2019s market leading ETF structure combines physical investment in US Treasury Bills with a swap overlay to provide more consistent index tracking. To diversify both counterparty risk and the composition of the index, the index references a number sub-indices and the fund will use multiple swap counterparties. Source is pleased to be appointing four swap counterparties for this product: Barclays Capital, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, and UBS. <\/p>\n The LGIM Commodity Composite Source ETF will complement Source\u2019s existing range of exchange traded commodities. Commenting on the launch, Source CEO Ted Hood said \u201cSingle-commodity ETCs are useful for investors who want to build a tailored portfolio. But, like LGIM, we see the need for a well-constructed commodity index, providing diversified exposure, at a reasonable cost and in a UCITS-compliant fund. We are delighted to be partnering with LGIM, one of the world\u2019s leading index managers, to create an ETF that tracks this groundbreaking index\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n The LGIM Commodity Composite Source ETF is listed on the London Stock Exchange and trades in GBP and USD. It is registered for sale in Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy (for institutional investors only), Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK. <\/p>\n INDEX COMPOSITION<\/strong><\/p>\n The indices included in the initial composition of the LGIM Commodity Composite Index are as follows: The fund, which tracks the LGIM Commodity Composite Index, is designed to offer high quality, diversified exposure to commodities in a UCITS-compliant ETF… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":21873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1471],"tags":[1718,1671,1744,1651,1437,1746,2234,1720,1738],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21875"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
