The Index is an equal weighted index of 17 commodities plus theoretical interest earned on the cash required to collateralize the futures trading. The Index automatically includes for each commodity a different set of futures with different maturities or terms, so it does not just hold near front month futures. Because of the equal weighting, the Index offers significant exposure to grains, livestock, and soft commodities and a lower energy weighting than many of its peers. In addition, the Index is rebalanced every day in order to maintain each commodity’s weight as close to 1/17th of the total as possible.
