The VanEck CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF (OTCMKTS: CMCI) is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide broad exposure to the global commodity markets through a rules-based, futures-only strategy. Managed by VanEck, the fund seeks to track the performance of the UBS Bloomberg Constant Maturity Commodity Index, which maintains a fixed maturity structure by rolling futures contracts across energy, agricultural, industrial metal and precious metal sectors. This approach is intended to mitigate the impact of sharp price fluctuations and deliver more consistent exposure to commodity returns over time.
Since its introduction in 2012, the ETF has invested exclusively in commodity futures contracts rather than physical commodities, allowing investors to access commodity performance with the liquidity and cost profiles typical of financial instruments. The fund’s weighted exposure to various commodity sub-sectors is adjusted periodically in line with the index rules, which aim to reflect the global economic importance of each commodity segment, ensuring a diversified mix that spans major markets such as crude oil, natural gas, gold, copper, wheat and corn.
Offered primarily to U.S. and international investors through the OTC Markets platform, the VanEck CMCI Commodity Strategy ETF serves as a tactical allocation and diversification tool within broader portfolios. It caters to asset managers, institutional investors and individual market participants seeking an alternative to direct commodity ownership, while leveraging VanEck’s broader experience in launching and managing niche ETFs. The fund operates under Van Eck Associates Corporation, a U.S.-based investment manager with a history of commodity-focused products and global distribution capabilities.
