Our read on COMT

ETF.net Research

In short

BThe broad commodity fund that skips the Bloomberg crowd. COMT tracks the S&P GSCI Dynamic Roll, weighting commodities by world production instead of sector caps, with a roll method built to blunt the drag of contango.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track the S&P GSCI Dynamic Roll (USD) Total Return Index, which represents a broad commodity exposure with enhanced roll selection across sectors.

Why people hold it

  • 0.48% net of a waiver through February 28, 2029 (0.49% gross), which sits below the median fee in the broad commodity futures category.ishares.com
  • Weighted by world production rather than sector caps, so it leans toward what the world pumps and digs most, a different mix from Bloomberg-index rivals BCI and CMDY.spglobal.com
  • Rather than mechanically rolling front-month futures, the index uses an enhanced roll selection designed to alleviate the negative impact of rolling into contango.spglobal.comspglobal.com 2
  • Listed in 2014, with more than a decade of live history and over a billion dollars in assets behind it. Not a thin, untested launch.

Worth knowing

  • This is the full-energy version of the GSCI, not the reduced-energy variant, so energy drives much of the move. Commodity futures are volatile, and the ride here reflects that.spglobal.com
  • Below the median, but not the cheap seat: COMB charges 0.25% and BCI 0.26%, neither relying on a waiver, for their own broad commodity futures baskets.
  • The commodity exposure sits in a wholly owned Cayman subsidiary run by the same manager. That subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act.ishares.comsec.gov
