CANECTeucrium Sugar Fund

TAGSCTeucrium Agricultural Fund

In short

CANE Sugar, neat. CANE tracks No. 11 sugar futures through Teucrium's own index, a single-crop position in a peer group mostly built from broad ag baskets, and it has been running since 2011 at 0.54% a year.

TAGS One ticket, four crops: TAGS holds Teucrium's corn, wheat, soybean and sugar funds at roughly a quarter each. Pure farm-field exposure, no energy or metals along for the ride, and the thinnest headline fee in the ag-futures group.

Stated mandate

CANE The Fund seeks to reflect daily changes in the price of sugar for future delivery through its benchmark, primarily by investing in the benchmark's No. 11 Sugar futures contracts.

TAGS The Fund seeks daily results reflecting the combined performance of four agricultural commodity pools covering corn, wheat, soybeans and sugar. It invests equally in those underlying funds and targets approximately 25% in each.

Why people hold it

  • CANE Narrow by design: it aims to reflect daily moves in sugar futures via the Teucrium Sugar Index, primarily No. 11 contracts. No corn or wheat diluting the move.teucrium.com
  • At 0.54% a year, it charges less than the typical fund in its agriculture futures group and less than broad baskets DBA (0.90%) and PDBA (0.75%).
  • Trading since 2011, mid-sized and moderately traded: a seasoned vehicle rather than a thin new launch chasing a theme.
  • TAGS Headline fee of 0.17% sits far below the 0.75% typical of ag-futures funds.
  • Targets about 25% each in corn, wheat, soybeans and sugar, so no single crop runs the show.
  • Trading since 2012 and one of the stronger builds in the agricultural futures group.

Worth knowing

  • CANE One crop, one futures curve. Nothing in the portfolio cushions a rough sugar season, so single-commodity swings land straight in the fund.
  • It is a commodity pool, not a standard fund wrapper, so tax paperwork can look different from a regular ETF. Peer PDBA exists specifically to sidestep K-1s.teucrium.com
  • Not an income holding: it hasn't been paying distributions, and results come from futures price moves alone.
  • TAGS It is a fund of funds: you also carry the costs of the four Teucrium funds it holds (sugar 0.54%, corn 0.61%), so all-in cost runs above the headline fee.
  • A small, thinly traded fund, so spreads can widen and large orders can move the price.
  • Built as a commodity pool rather than a standard stock ETF, with no regular distributions; tax paperwork differs, and rival PDBA is designed to skip the K-1.
