3. • DJ UBS offers 2 different types of indexes on Commodities:
DJ UBS Commodity 3 months Forward Indexes provides exposure to futures returns 3 months further
out on the futures curve than the Classic DJ UBS Commodity Indexes underlying contracts for front
month
• Thus, the Classic is exposed to contracts approx 1-3 months from expiry, and the Forward Index is
exposed to contracts approx 4-6 months from expiry
• Both indexes roll passively on fixed, regular and transparent schedule
• When the curve is in contango, the roll cost tends to be reduced when choosing an exposition to
forward contracts instead of front month contracts
4. Agricultural Index Comparison
Source: DB indexes, Dow Jones Indexes, ETFS
• Our Index is much weighted on Soybean, thus benefiting from the better than its peers performance
and the momentum of the underlying
• Our index has no exposure to Cocoa; this is a very volatile commodity that has deeply
underperformed last year
