The commodity markets have developed over the last few years into a highly respected “Investment Class”. Investors have the opportunity of participating in the development of the commodity markets by means of commodity futures. Investments in commodity futures distinguish themselves by small correlations with the returns of traditional investment classes and therefore make an interesting contribution to the effective diversification of portfolio risks.

As distinguished from the passive “long-only” strategies in commodity futures, implemented in many places, which are mostly aligned to the usual commodity indices, our investment concepts offer an active and differentiated access to the commodity markets. We use the latest scientific insights on the dynamics of risk premiums in the commodity futures markets. In the context of the exploration and implementation of our active strategies we work in close cooperation with the CYD Research GmbH, a research firm specialising in the international commodity market based near the University of Basel.
