Stoneport Dynamic Commodity Index
The Stoneport Dynamic Commodity Index (SDCI) is our proprietary actively managed commodity index. The index serves as an alternative commodity investment benchmark versus standard long-only commodity-based indices.
SDCI is comprised of 23 highly liquid, US exchange-listed commodity futures contracts.
Provides consistent non-correlated diversification to a core equity/fixed income portfolio in a fully transparent, fixed methodology structure; no style drift.
Return Price trend algorithms determine long or short positions for each of the 23 contracts representing the five major commodity sectors: Grains, Livestock, Metals, Softs, and Energy. Positions are established monthly.
Portfolio is rebalanced to its initial weights at the beginning of each month.
Non-leveraged.
The weighting scheme is a simple average of the S&P GSCI and the Dow Jones Commodity Index ("DJCI").
