The S&P GSCI® Crude Oil Covered Call Index seeks to simulate a covered call strategy on the most active crude oil futures contract. The index is designed to be investable and provides long only exposure to the crude oil market, but with less volatility and the potential for income generation. The S&P GSCI Crude Oil Covered Call Index seeks to provide higher returns than the S&P GSCI Crude Oil Index but with lower volatility in most environments with the exception of when the crude oil futures market is rallying rapidly.

This index is part of the S&P GSCI® family of indices targeted to commodity index investors looking for long only exposure but with less volatility and some alleviation of the potential drag on returns from rolling futures into contango.

Index Governance and Policy
The Index Committee, which is comprised of three full-time professional members of Standard & Poor’s staff and two members of Goldman Sachs Group, oversees the daily management and operations of the S&P GSCIT® . Standard & Poor’s and the Index Committee are committed to maintaining the S&P GSCI® as a liquid, tradable index that serves as a principal benchmark for commodity investing. On at least a yearly basis, S&P also meets with an Index Advisory Panel to consult on matters relating to the composition and maintenance of the index.
