eToro, WisdomTree unveil commodity-focused portfolio

Investing.com -- Trading platform eToro and WisdomTree, a global provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs), have teamed up to launch a portfolio that offers eToro users a diversified method for investing in commodities. This new portfolio adapts dynamically to market conditions.

The year 2024 saw record-high prices for several commodities, including gold, cocoa, and coffee, due to the Federal Reserve's rate cuts, ongoing geopolitical conflict, and extreme weather conditions caused by climate change. The transition to green energy and the development of artificial intelligence, which require metals like copper, silver, and platinum, are also driving demand for these commodities.

The WisdomTree-Comm Smart Portfolio, which is the result of this collaboration, invests in 24 commodities through the WisdomTree Enhanced Commodities UCITS ETF. This ETF constitutes 80% of the portfolio and provides exposure to agriculture, energy, precious metals, and industrial metals, ensuring a well-diversified allocation.

The remaining 20% of the portfolio is rebalanced monthly and consists of four equally weighted single-commodity ETPs. These are selected from a pool of 13 commodities, excluding the agricultural sector, based on three factors: momentum, roll yield, and low volatility.

Gil Shapira, Chief Investment Officer at eToro, stated that commodities can add diversification and resilience to an investment portfolio, as they benefit from high inflation and interest rates. In partnership with WisdomTree, Europe’s largest commodity ETP provider, eToro aims to offer users a simple, diversified, and less volatile method to invest in a broad range of commodities over the long term.

Adrià Beso, Head of Digital Distribution at WisdomTree, added that commodities can play various roles for investors, such as serving as a portfolio diversifier, an inflation hedge, and a hedge against geopolitical risks. This dynamic model portfolio simplifies access to the commodities complex through a one-stop solution, making it easier for investors to build diversified portfolios and benefit from the unique characteristics of commodities.

eToro’s Smart Portfolios offer long-term exposure to various market themes. They provide long-term investment solutions that offer diversified exposure. The initial investment starts from USD$500, and any investor can access tools and charts to track the portfolio’s performance. eToro’s social feed keeps them updated on developments in the sector.
