WisdomTree to rebalance commodity index securities in January

LONDON - WisdomTree Commodity Securities Limited announced Wednesday that it will conduct an annual rebalancing of its index securities in early January 2026, affecting twenty-eight categories of index securities tracked by the Bloomberg Commodity Index and Bloomberg Commodity Index 3 Month Forward.

The rebalancing process will adjust the number of micro securities within each index security, though the company emphasized that the changes will not affect the value of any index security and security holders do not need to take any action. The fifty-two classes of individual securities will remain unaffected by the rebalancing.

According to the announcement, the rebalancing will follow a specific timeline starting January 8, 2026, when target adjustments will be determined using January 7 settlement prices. Adjustments will be implemented over four trading days from January 9 through January 14, with the final composition announced before market opening on January 15.

Notable changes in the targeted weights include gold decreasing from 19.06% to 14.90% in classic securities, while WTI crude oil will increase from 5.72% to 6.64%. Brent crude oil will see the largest increase, moving from 6.70% to 8.36%. Silver will experience a significant reduction from 6.28% to 3.94%, while cocoa will be newly added with a 1.71% weighting.

Natural gas will remain the largest energy component, increasing from 6.20% to 7.20% in classic securities. Among agricultural commodities, soybeans will decrease slightly from 6.01% to 5.36%, while corn will increase from 4.56% to 5.53%.

The company stated that if market disruption events occur for any commodity, the rebalancing period may be extended through an "Extended Voluntary Rebalancing" process.
