The first exchange-traded commodity based on the mean reversion principle issued by db ETC Index is now trading on Xetra.
The db Mean Reversion Euro Hedged ETC allows investors to participate for the first time in the performance of a basket of commodities comprising aluminium, gold, heating oil, corn, wheat and WTI crude oil with currency hedging.
The weighting of individual commodities is based on the mean reversion principle. Using this approach, commodities that appear inexpensive relative to their mean are overweighted while commodities that appear relatively expensive are underweighted.
The weighting of individual commodities in the reference index, db Mean Reversion Index, is mainly calculated on the basis of their average price over the last 365 days in relation to their five-year mean.
The index weighting is adjusted as soon as the 12-month average of a commodity significantly deviates from its five-year mean.
The fund’s total expense ratio is 0.45 per cent.
