Frequently Asked Questions
- What is COM?
- COM (Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF) is a unique commodity ETF that uses a trend-following methodology. Rather than always being long commodities, the fund evaluates the price trend of each commodity and only maintains exposure to those in uptrends, moving to T-bills for commodities in downtrends.
- How does COM's trend-following strategy work?
- COM uses the Auspice Broad Commodity Index methodology, which evaluates each commodity's price trend monthly. Commodities showing positive trends receive a long position, while those in downtrends are replaced with cash (T-bills). This can reduce losses during commodity bear markets but may miss the start of rallies.
- How does COM compare to traditional commodity ETFs?
- Traditional commodity ETFs like DBC and GSG are always fully invested in commodities. COM's tactical approach may outperform during prolonged downtrends by holding cash but may underperform during sudden rallies when it is partially in cash. It suits investors who want commodity exposure with built-in risk management.
