The Invesco DB Commodity Index ETF aims to replicate the performance of the DBIQ Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Index. The fund invests in commodities futures contracts for WTI crude, Brent crude, natural gas, gasoline, heating oil, zinc, copper, aluminum, gold, silver, corn, sugar, soybeans and wheat.
DBC is among the most popular ETF options for investors who want broad exposure to commodities, and may potentially enhance portfolio returns and diversification in traditional portfolios. The ETF has consistently been in the top quartile of its Morningstar category for the past five years, the professionals see it as a lower-risk option compared to Invesco’s DB Oil thanks to a broader selection of commodities beyond crude oil.
