  • AGG.P, the lowest-cost peer at 0.03%, commands $135B in assets.

Opportunities and Structural Constraints

BCI.P’s recent inflows highlight its role as a leveraged commodity proxy during periods of strong market conviction. However, its 1x leverage structure requires continuous rebalancing, which can amplify costs during volatile stretches. While the fund’s focus on near-term futures reduces roll yield risks, it remains exposed to commodity-specific volatility. Investors should weigh its active leverage against lower-cost, non-leveraged alternatives like AGG.P, particularly for longer-term positions.
