Our read on each fund
COMBB
HGERC
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.
HGER Most commodity indexes weight by what the world digs up. HGER tracks a Quantix index that weights by what actually moves US inflation, with a gold sleeve that expands or shrinks depending on which kind of inflation shows up.
Stated mandate
COMB The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation mainly through exposure to commodity futures markets.
HGER The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Quantix Commodity Index.
