Research Affiliates' Rob Arnott and Elkhorn's Ben Fulton Team Up to Build First Ever Fundamental Commodity ETF - Seite 2

RCOM seeks to offer an institutionally-focused commodity solution with low tracking error to benchmark indices, a simple roll yield solution to address the potential negative impact of roll yields, and a dynamic commodity weighting methodology to adapt to the volatile commodity markets in an ETF with 1099 tax reporting (no K-1).

"In equities, benchmark indexes provide very efficient market exposure. This, however, is not the case within commodities," said Graham Day, SVP and Head of Product and Research. "We believe the Elkhorn Fundamental Commodity Strategy ETF is an important development in offering investors a more thoughtful way to invest in a broad, diversified basket of commodities."

This is one of two actively-managed, commodity-based ETFs that Elkhorn is launching today. The second being the Elkhorn Commodity Rotation Strategy ETF (DWAC). The launch of RCOM adds to Elkhorn's diverse ETF lineup, which includes the recently launched investment grade only Elkhorn S&P High Quality Preferred ETF (EPRF).
