Investors keep pouring money into commodities

By Kirsten Hastings, 18 Apr 17

European investors have increased their commodity exposure by investing $1.3bn (£1bn, €1.2bn) in broad commodity ETFs in 1Q17, this compares with $1.8bn invested in the whole of 2016, according to figures from ETF provider Source.

European investors have increased their commodity exposure by investing $1.3bn (£1bn, €1.2bn) in broad commodity ETFs in 1Q17, this compares with $1.8bn invested in the whole of 2016, according to figures from ETF provider Source.

The vast majority of this year’s broad commodity flows have been into ETFs tracking the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM), the firm said.

Chris Mellor, product specialist at Source, said: “It’s clear that investors wanting to diversify their portfolios are turning to commodities.

“That makes sense given the low correlation commodities have with equities and bonds, and especially now that some equity valuations may look stretched.” 

The Source Bloomberg Commodity Ucits ETF has raised over $1bn since its launch in January 2017.

The fund offers GBP and USD trading currencies and costs 0.4% per annum, split between an ongoing charge of 0.19% and swap fee of 0.21%.
