Our read on SOYB
ASoybeans, straight up. Since 2011 SOYB has tracked a benchmark of soybean futures for future delivery, wrapped so you can buy the bean in an ordinary brokerage account, and it charges less than the typical commodity futures fund.
SOYB seeks to track daily changes in the soybean market for future delivery through its benchmark.
Why people hold it
- Fee of 0.63% a year sits under the 0.81% median for commodity futures funds, and under diversified rival PDBC at 0.74%.
- A single-crop play, not a commodity grab bag: the fund follows the Teucrium Soybean Index, which tracks daily moves in soybean futures.
- Trading since 2011, a long run for a one-commodity fund, and one of the stronger implementations in its commodity futures peer group.
Worth knowing
- One crop, one price. Weather, harvest cycles and export demand move soybean futures hard, and there is nothing else in the portfolio to soften it.
- It is a commodity pool, not a standard 1940 Act fund, so the tax paperwork differs from a stock ETF. Check how that lands on your return.
- Mid-sized asset base and moderate turnover mean bid-ask spreads can run wider than on the giant index funds, and the payoff comes from price moves, not income.
