Home/News Feed/Commodity ETF returns can lag prices due to hidden costs from futures contract rolls. Commodity ETFs like Invesco's PDBC may show returns that lag actual commodity price gains due to the cost of rolling futures contracts. These contracts expire and must be replaced, often at higher prices in a contango market, which reduces the ETF's effective exposure and returns despite rising commodity prices. The fund holds mostly cash and invests in futures on various commodities, earning interest on cash to offset some costs. Investors should consider roll strategies, fees, cash investments, and tax implications before buying commodity ETFs, as these factors significantly impact returns.
