COMBAGraniteShares Bloomberg Commodity Broad Strategy No K-1 ETF

COMTBiShares GSCI Commodity Dynamic Roll Strategy ETF

In short

COMB The cheapest ticket in the K-1-free commodity aisle: 0.25% for a broad basket of energy, metals, grain and livestock futures, wrapped so your tax packet is a Form 1099 instead of a Schedule K-1.

COMT The 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

COMB The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation mainly through exposure to commodity futures markets.

COMT 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

  • COMB At 0.25%, the lowest fee among the category's top-scoring broad commodity funds (BCI 0.26%, CERY 0.28%, CMDY 0.29%, BCD 0.30%) and below the category median.
  • Gains its futures exposure through a wholly owned Cayman subsidiary, so the fund is designed to be taxed like a conventional fund and issue a 1099, not a K-1.sec.gov
  • Benchmarked to the Bloomberg Commodity Index: about 30 positions across energy, metals, agriculture and livestock, with index rules capping any commodity group at 33%.bbhub.io
  • Live since 2017, long enough to have run through a full commodity boom and bust, and it sits in the top quartile of its peer group.
  • COMT 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

  • COMB Thinly traded next to the category's household names, so spreads can widen. Matters most on bigger orders.
  • Returns ride the futures curve, not spot prices. Rolling contracts forward can add to or subtract from the move in a commodity's headline price.graniteshares.com
  • Actively managed rather than a strict index clone, with Treasury bills as collateral and cash paid out annually or semiannually, not monthly.graniteshares.com
  • COMT 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
