An introduction to commodities
The most popular way most investors gain exposure to commodities is through exchange-traded products. You can gain exposure to a single commodity’s price via an exchange-traded commodity (ETC) or to a basket of commodities, such as those represented by the BCOM Index, via an ETF.
Monthly gold update
Gold rose 4.2% in October, once again setting new records, despite the US Dollar and Treasury bond yields rising in the month, which would typically be headwinds to the yellow metal. The more powerful drivers were geopolitical, especially further escalation in the Middle East conflict and uncertainty ahead of the US Presidential election. Discover insights into the key macro events and what we think you should be keeping your eyes on in the near term.
Monthly fixed income ETF update
Bond markets generally struggled in October as the market reevaluated the interest rate outlook, following a strong rally leading up to the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut. Read our latest thoughts on how fixed income markets performed during the month and what we think you should be looking out for in the near term.

An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a pooled investment vehicle with shares that can be bought and sold throughout the day on the stock exchange, in the same way that ordinary stocks and shares are traded.
Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) are listed debt instruments traded on a stock exchange and backed by a commodity. They are not funds or ETFs.
Benefits:
Low cost of ownership – ETFs tend to be cheaper than most other funds.
Liquidity – Creation/redemption process ensures liquidity
Ease of trading – ETFs can be traded on a stock exchange at any time, when open. May be an attractive feature for investors who are looking for more flexibility around when to buy and sell an investment.
Transparency – ETFs are very transparent and usually disclose their full list of holdings daily on the ETF provider’s website.
Index tracking – Physical and synthetic replication models may offer economic advantages
Risks:
Tracking differences: ETFs may not track an index perfectly. The difference between fund return and index return is called ‘tracking difference’.
Capital risk: Like any investment product, the value of an ETF may go down as well as up, and you may not get back the amount invested.
You would typically buy and sell ETFs through a stockbroker or online trading platform, just like ordinary stocks and shares.
While buying and selling our ETFs is usually quite straightforward, you may wish to speak to us first especially if you have a particularly large or complex trade.
Our Capital Markets team serves as the central point of contact for both primary and secondary market activity for our European-domiciled ETFs and ETCs. They can help guide you to find the most suitable and cost-effective way to buy or switch into one of our ETFs or ETCs, based on your individual preferences. They can also provide you with a pre-trade cost analysis, free and without obligation.
There are many ways for fund managers to track the performance of an index. These ‘replication methods’ fall into two broad categories, physical and synthetic.
Physical ETFs own the underlying stocks or bonds that comprise the benchmark index; whereas a synthetic ETF aims to deliver the index performance through a swap provided by an investment bank. A swap is a type of derivative contract where two parties agree to exchange (“swap”) one stream of flows for another.
At Invesco, we pioneered a synthetic method called “physical with swap overlay” whereby the ETF holds a basket of quality securities, which are not the same as those in the index but are expected to produce most of the returns. To reduce tracking error, the ETF has swaps often with multiple counterparties (investment banks) that pay the difference between the index return and the return of the basket of securities.
Smart beta is a term for any rules-based strategy that uses characteristics other than just geography and market capitalisation to select and weight the securities of the index.

UCITS ETF’s units / shares purchased on the secondary market cannot usually be sold directly back to UCITS ETF. Investors must buy and sell units / shares on a secondary market with the assistance of an intermediary (e.g. a stockbroker) and may incur fees for doing so. In addition, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units / shares and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them.
