PDBC ETF

The Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBC) provides broad-basket commodity exposure. While the fund can stand alone, it can also be used alongside other commodity ETFs.

The industry's largest commodity ETF is celebrating its 10th birthday on Thursday, a significant milestone for the industry. The $4.6 billion Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBC) launched on November 7, 2014.

PDBC offers a strong combination of low expense ratio, high dividend yield, and a strategic approach to the commodities market through its Optimum Yield strategy. The de-dollarization process, low interest in U.S. Treasuries, and rising long-term inflation expectations could work in favor of the commodities market. Heading into November, December's weak seasonality may pose a risk but also offer an opportunity to build a position, particularly for contrarian investors who prefer low-momentum assets.

Commodity prices rose in Q2 2024, with base metals leading the way. Soft commodities led the asset class in the first half of 2024, while grains were the worst-performing sector. Geopolitical issues and market volatility could impact commodity prices in the second half of 2024.

While investors have been hyperfocused on bitcoin, they may have missed the rally in other commodities. Commodities including bitcoin, gold, and copper have reached record highs recently.

PDBC is a diversified commodities ETF that invests in energy, precious metals, industrial metals, and agriculture commodities. The ETF uses a Cayman Islands subsidiary and provides transparency in its holdings, with a 50%/25%/25% allocation to energy, metals, and agriculture. PDBC has lagged behind the S&P 500 historically but can act as a diversifier in portfolios during periods of inflation, offering potential benefits in commodity exposure.

Tariffs and sanctions can disrupt the prices of commodities.

Cocoa prices have surged, surpassing the price of copper, while the broader commodity complex has been in rally mode. Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF has diversified commodity exposure and may benefit from an improved macro backdrop. PDBC has high exposure to energy commodities and low allocation in soft commodities like agriculture.

The Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF is an actively managed ETF that invests in commodity-linked futures. PDBC offers a diversified approach to its portfolio, reducing overall volatility and standard deviation. The outlook for oil and gold in 2024 is strong, which should translate into a strong performance for PDBC.
