Our read on each fund
BDRYF
PDBCA
In short
BDRY Shipping stocks are a proxy. BDRY buys the thing itself: near-dated futures on dry bulk freight rate indexes, so it moves with what it costs to haul iron ore, coal and grain across an ocean.
PDBC Broad commodity exposure without the K-1 paperwork. Trading since 2014, PDBC packages a diversified futures basket inside an ordinary fund wrapper and aims to beat its commodity benchmark rather than simply mirror it.
Stated mandate
BDRY The Fund seeks exposure to daily changes in dry bulk freight futures through a portfolio of near-dated futures contracts on indexes measuring dry bulk shipping rates.
PDBC The fund seeks to outperform the excess-return version of its benchmark through a diversified commodity strategy.
