The Index offers a long only, diversified exposure to the commodity asset class, excluding Agriculture and Livestock. The key features of Index are outlined below:

  • Diversification across 3 commodity sectors using the same sector diversification of the industry benchmark commodity index known as the as the Bloomberg ex- Agriculture and Livestock Capped Total Return Index (“The Industry Benchmark Index”):

1) Industrial Metals;

2) Precious Metals; and

3) Energy

 

As at 15 April 2021, the sector allocation of the Index was:

  • The individual commodity weights within the Index are calculated by reference to the following:

1) As a first step it uses the same weights as those included in the Industry Benchmark Index. The Industry Benchmark Index uses liquidity and production data to determine the weights of each commodity within that index;

2) As a second step, a daily weight capping mechanism is applied to ensure that the sum of the weights for all commodities included within the Energy sector does not exceed 35% and that no individual commodity within the Index exceeds 20% on a daily basis.

Key Risks Key risks include:

  • Your return (including any Performance Coupon) is affected by the performance of the Reference Asset. There is no guarantee that the Reference Asset will perform well.
  • There will be no Performance Coupon payable if the performance of the Reference Asset is negative at Maturity;
  • The potential Performance Coupon is determined by reference to the Reference Asset Performance as well as changes in the AUD/USD exchange rate. An increase in the AUD/USD exchange rate between the Commencement Date and the Maturity Date will reduce the Performance Coupon whilst a decrease in the AUD/USD rate between the relevant dates will lead to an increase in the Performance Coupon;
  • There is no guarantee that the Units will generate returns in excess of the Prepaid Interest and Fees, during the Investment Term. Additionally, in the event of an Investor requested Issuer Buy-Back or Early Maturity Event, you will not receive a refund of your Prepaid Interest or Fees.
  • Gains (and losses) may be magnified by the use of a 100% Loan. However, note that the Loan is a limited recourse Loan, so you can never lose more than your Prepaid Interest Amount and Fees paid at Commencement.
  • Investors are subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to the Issuer and the Hedge Counterparty; and
  • the Units may mature early following an Early Maturity Event, including an Adjustment Event, Market Disruption Event or if the Issuer accepts your request for an Issuer Buy-Back.
