What is Exchange Traded Commodity?

TTC shares can fluctuate throughout the day, depending on which commodity they are tracking.

ETC performance is influenced by one of two things: the spot price for the underlying commodity or the futures prices.

Features and benefits of exchange-traded commodities

Diversification Opportunity

Small investors could not access the commodities market until 2003 due to the high minimum investment requirements. Even small investors can now invest in commodities with the ETC. Investors can diversify their portfolio to increase portfolio performance.

Lower risk

ETC, although it is a debt instrument can be relatively safe. ETC is a debt instrument that provides collateral. This can be in the form either of the commodity being traced or in investments in securities with high creditworthiness. The collateral can be used to recover the investor's investment in the event of default by the issuer.

No logistical issues

An investor who buys shares in an ETC does not purchase the actual commodity. Investors don't need to store the commodity. Imagine how difficult it would have to explain all your cattle to neighbors.

Less expense ratio

An ETC is managed passively by a fund manager. As a result, the ETC is managed passively by the fund manager. This results in a lower management fee (also called the expense ratio) than other actively managed funds.
