Standard & Poor’s Commodity Trends Indicator (S&P CTI) is an investible long / short strategy to gain exposure to commodities. Investors are recognizing the value of allocating to “commodities” for diversification purposes; however, there are very few options for investors seeking broad commodity diversification in a single product. Additionally, most commodity investment options provide investors “long only” exposure, which often entails substantial volatility and provides favorable return opportunities only in rising commodity markets. The S&P CTI is an investible strategy by which to potentially profit from both rising and declining market trends in commodities with lower volatility than long only approaches.
