Why Schroders for commodities A unique and innovative approach to investing
1. Wider opportunity set – means increased diversification, lower volatility, more opportunity
2. Active rotation – to take advantage of price leadership and low sector correlations
3. Index unconstrained – avoid inefficiencies and limit downside volatility
4. Use of equity exposure – broadens sources of return e.g. Uranium, Fertiliser, Coal
5. Global exchange choice – capitalising on regional pricing differences
6. Contract choice – finding the most efficient place to invest
7. Use of cash – to protect capital, benefit from market timing
