Our read on each fund
COMBA
SDCIC
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.
SDCI Most broad commodity funds hold a fixed, production-weighted basket. SDCI rebuilds every month, keeping the 14 futures showing the deepest backwardation, equally weighted. A roll-yield strategy in a No K-1 wrapper.
Stated mandate
COMB The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation mainly through exposure to commodity futures markets.
SDCI The Fund seeks long-term total return through exposure to a diversified group of commodities, primarily using futures contracts and related instruments.
